MosaiCanadaGatineau will open a new snow sculpture exhibit in Jacques-Cartier Park which will coincide with the annual Winterlude festivities. The popular Canada 150 attraction with Mosaïvernales will feature 25 ice and snow sculptures along the one-kilometre path, paralleling the topiaries on display this past summer during MosaïCanada150.

 

 

 

 

During the National Capital Region’s sesquicentennial celebrations, the event proved to be a big attraction for the tourists. It surpassed the  800,000 attendees number from July to mid-October to more than 1.3 million visitors who took to this outdoor exhibit.

 

 

 

 

MosaïCanada150 also attracted attention over social media, with more than 10,000 Instagram posts tagging the event.

 

 

 

 

The winter event will revive some of the shapes from the summer event such as the Mother Earth sculpture which has received a fresh coat of snow.

 

 

 

 

Mosaïvernales solicited the help of more than 20 artists from Harbin, China to shape the frigid frescoes. The event opens at 6 p.m. on Jan. 26 and will run daily in the afternoons and evenings until March 4, weather permitting. Unlike its summer counterpart, Mosaïvernales will have a cost to enter: it’s $10 per person and free for children 12 and under.
