Snow Sculpture Symposium

The City of Whitefish is excited to announce the 1st Annual Snow Sculpture Symposium planned for the weekend of Winter Carnival, February 2nd through February 4th, 2018. In the spirit of mutual support and cooperation, the City is calling for teams of artists to come together to create a snow sculpture garden in Depot Park. Starting Friday, February 2nd, teams will work to create their sculptures, completing them by the afternoon of Sunday, February 4th. The public is encouraged to visit the park during the creation of the sculptures throughout the weekend. There will be a limit of nine teams in the symposium, made up of two to four people per team. Each team will be provided a cylinder of snow, nine feet high by six feet wide in diameter. The deadline to register is Friday, January 19th by 5:00 p.m. Teams will be notified of acceptance in the symposium on Monday, January 22nd. Registration is free and more detailed information and registration forms can be found at http://www.cityofwhitefish.org/parks-and-recreation/staff-and-news.php. This is a symposium, not a competition. The goal is to make Depot Park a center piece for our beautiful community, showcasing the skills and abilities of Montana artists during the annual celebration of Whitefish Winter Carnival.
