Shapes in white!
Artistic works made out of snow and ice
The first art project “Shapes in White” took place already 31 years ago. Since then, sculptors from all over the world send their designs to the jury of the Ischgl Snow Sculpture Contest each year. The jury chooses the best ideas and invites artist pairs to realise their concepts at the Silvretta Arena in Ischgl. The sculptors have one week to complete their creations made from snow – many of the up to ten metres in height. Let’s hope the artists don’t end up with icicles for fingers … So, in case you find yourself eye to eye with a giant snow sculpture – that can only mean one thing: It’s that time of the year again, when the Shapes in White festival is taking over the slopes of Ischgl!
Turn your next ski day into a visit to a gallery and marvel at the “coolest” art in the world!
