2024 Ice Sculpture Show
Artist-Led Audio Guide

Times Square Arts joined forces with Governors Island Arts to co-present the third annual Governors Island Ice Sculpture Show, which took place on Saturday, February 3, 2024, from 12 to 5pm. Out of ten finalists, a panel of judges chose Bronx-based artist Lovie Pignata's Smitten sculpture as the champion of the show. The winning sculpture depicts two cozy mittens with knit details touching to form a heart, referencing the beginning stages of love in the cold winter season.

A larger-scale version of the winning sculpture was carved and installed by Okamoto Studio in Times Square for the district's annual Valentine's Day events, where New Yorkers and visitors alike celebrated love through surprise proposals, weddings, and a vow renewal ceremony on the Square's iconic Red Steps. The sculpture was on view on Duffy Square from Wednesday, February 14 until it melted.

This year's jury panel that selected the winners included creative agent at  large and cast member of Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City Jenna Lyons, writer and editor Miya Lee, NYC Council Member representing 26th District of Bedford Stuyvesant and North Crown Heights Chi Ossé, and Hollis Kam, Senior Vice President of People and Culture at Times Square Alliance and decade-long ordained wedding officiant for Love in Times Square.
