Vermont Flurry on schedule to begin carving, Feb. 16

Friday-Sunday, Feb. 16-18—WOODSTOCK— Pentangle Arts and ArtisTree Community Arts Center jointly present the Vermont Flurry: Woodstock Snow Sculpture Festival currently scheduled for President’s Day weekend, Feb. 16-18. The sculptures will come to life on the Village Green in Woodstock. Please note: This event is weather-dependent and may be rescheduled on short notice.0

Over President’s Day weekend, the Woodstock Village Green is transformed into a celebration of winter and the visual arts. Cheer on professional snow sculpting teams as they compete to create large, stunning sculptures, and be amazed as these works of art come to life over a three-day period. The snow starts out as huge blocks of icy snow, set up to be carved into phenomenal sculptures. Get involved by voting for a favorite “Peoples’ Choice” pick, to be announced Sunday, Feb. 18 at 12:30 p.m. Voting ends on Sunday at 12:15 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public, and is part of Vermont Arts 2018, a celebration of the stunning array of arts events — concerts, festivals, exhibits, and openings — that take place all across the state.

Sculptures that have been created in past Vermont Flurry competitions have been utterly amazing to see. These are not amateur, folks!
