Browse among the 12 colorful artist shanties along the Walkway-to-the-Sea and meet Cape Cod creatives who work and sell their wares right from their “seaside studios” in the heart of Hyannis’ working waterfront. One program, two locations with harbor views!
Always open from 11:00am. Frequently artists come in early and stay late.
Artwork varies and Artists change weekly.
Artwork is hand-made, designed or crafted in a variety of mediums. Plan to visit often to meet a variety of Cape Cod artists and artisans. Harbor Overlook and Bismore Park are beautiful and breezy spots to take in the sights and sounds of a working waterfront. It is just steps to and from Hyannis Main Street to Hyannis Harbor.
The artist shanties are named for the town’s seven villages and each shanty at Bismore Park features past and present images of the villages.
The Harbor Overlook shanties are named for some of the public town beaches.
ABOUT THE ARTIST SHANTY PROGRAM:
The program, which first started in 2005 with just 11 artists, has expanded to now include up to 100 artists who rotate throughout the season, displaying their work at two locations along the Walkway-to-the-Sea. The Town run artist shanty program provides affordable rental space for Cape Cod artists and artisans to work and sell at these “seaside studios”.
This program provides prime visibility and opportunities for artists to gain and improve business, marketing and selling skills, connect with other artists and meet visitors from around the region and the world.
