The weather outside is frightful - well, the wind chills are.

But that means it's perfect weather for ice luminaries or, if you're Mary Plaster, maybe something more along the post-industrial plastic/wire/LED line.

Five sculptors/sculpting teams will be creating art through the end of next week.  You can find details here.

But will there be a role for Duluth's Snow Sculpting Laureate, Harry Welty?
