Art and design of ice and snow

The dropping of the temperature to several degrees below zero in Jukkasjärvi marks the start of an ephemeral art endeavour. Using only frozen water form the Torne River, artists from all over the world gather in this small Swedish village, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, to create an exclusive art exhibition: ICEHOTEL in Jukkasjärvi.

Art is the heart of ICEHOTEL. That is why we want more exciting ideas for suites in ICEHOTEL #20. Send in you suggestion no later than July 15th 2009.
