The ‘Joy in the Journey’ mural project will transform a prominent stairwell descending from the third floor (social spaces) to the second floor (classrooms) into a place for reflection and inspiration.

Call for Winter Carnival Snow Sculpture Teams
Steamboat Creates is now accepting applications for the Winter Carnival Snow Sculpture Competition, one of Steamboat’s most beloved winter traditions. We invite community and student teams to bring their creativity to the snow and be part of this iconic celebration.
Due to snow conditions this year, the number of participating teams will be limited. A total of five community teams and five student teams will be selected, making the application process competitive.
Teams will submit a design concept as part of the application. Selected teams will be notified by January 27. First-place teams in each category will receive great prizes, generously provided by local sponsors.
If you love working collaboratively, creating something bold and playful, and sharing your creativity with the community, we encourage you to apply.
Deadline to apply: January 26th
