Located above the arctic circle in Swedish Lapland, the internationally renown ICEHOTEL is a platform for ephemeral art. Using only ice and snow for material, ICEHOTEL is constructed anew every winter and melts down in late spring. Every year artists from around the globe are selected to design and construct the ICEHOTEL suites. More than just hotel rooms, by day these suites form the gallery of the hotel, visited by 30,000 international guests during the season. Experience with the material is not a requirement, artists from all disciplines are invited to apply.
