This time I am taking you to an ice carving festival- Crystal Gallery of Ice.
Crystal Gallery of Ice
The Crystal Gallery of Ice is an annual event held in downtown Anchorage in Town Square Winter Center. Each year, ice carvers come from all over the state, as well as from around the world, to compete in the ice carving competition, creating beautiful works of art from ordinary slabs of ice.
In 2016 the competition was held January 15-17.
The Gallery Walk of Ice sculptures will be on display at various locations in and outside of the Town Square Winter Center until they melt.

This is the Town Square Winter Center where the Crystal Gallery of Ice is held.

This artist was busy carving the ice continuing from yesterday.
Here are scenes of participating artists working on ice.

Female ice carvers participated as well.

These are tools used to carve the ice.

It was difficult to find a parking spot since so many residents came to see the event with the warm temperature.
These ice sculptures will be displayed until the end of January, so I am planning to come back at night after all the ice sculpture carvings are done.


Some came out to see with their kids.

And some are selling their art works here.
Here’s link for the pictures of Crystal Gallery of Ice at night with lighting after all the carvings are done.
