Become an Ice Sculpture Sponsor by purchasing an ice sculpture of your business logo, mascot or anything thing else you choose. Your sculpture will be set up outside your place of business early in the morning on February 19, 2022 and depending on weather could last for several days.

The 3-Dimensional Ice sculptures for our festival are created from individual, blocks of ice that are approximately 20” X 40”. They are all custom-made for you by Ice Mill Studios located in Asheville, NC.

You can provide your own ice sculpture stand or rent one from Ice Mill for an additional $50. We encourage everyone to add a sign with your business name and attach it to your ice sculpture stand.

Merchants who have sponsored sculptures in years past have first right of refusal on the design of each sculpture as we do not duplicate designs. Merchants often design their own sculptures based on their businesses and the ice artists welcome new ideas.

It is up to each sponsor to determine where their sculpture will be displayed. Most downtown businesses want theirs placed in front of their business and for those businesses that are located out of the downtown area we suggest displaying your sculpture in the park adjacent to chili row.
