Governors Island Arts presents the fourth annual Governors Island Ice Sculpture Show on February 8, 2025.
Ten artists will be paired with a professional ice carver from Okamoto Studio during the free public event, where visitors are invited to witness this real-time ice carving from 12 to 2 p.m. and enjoy an awards ceremony and ice sculpture installation from 2 to 3p.m. — including the audience-voted“People’s Choice” award. The event will include ice carving workshops from Okamoto Studio, crafts from Red Hook Art Project, live music from disco-infused Afrofuturist funk duo The Illustrious Blacks, and a special performance by NYC-based all-women, trans, and non-binary drumline Fogo Azul. Makina Café will be open in Colonels Row alongside additional food trucks Nao Caribbean Flavors, The Original Soupman, and Deploy Coffee, curated by Four Wheel Feasts.
The event is free and open to all, no registration or tickets required. Click here for ferry information.
