Ice Alaska

World Ice Association Inc was founded in april 1990 to continue the tradition of Ice sculpting in interior Alaska. The tradition began with the early celebrations of spring involving winter carnivals of the 1930s. The organization is mostly volunteer driven, and is run by an 11 member board, and over 300 volunteers. Our annual event has hosted over 100 Ice artists from the united states and including international artists. In past years, artists from 45 countries have competed in the World Ice art championships, with over 100 competition sculptures and exhibition pieces, and the ever-expanding Ice attractions in the kids park.
