This year the humble warming hut is elevated to a whole new level with an inaugural art and architecture exposition along the World’s Longest Natural Outdoor Skating Trail at The Forks.

The Warming Hut: An Art +Architecture Exposition on Ice has just completed its preliminary design phase. Five teams, each consisting of prominent architects and landscape architects paired with an artist, have been given a mere nine thousand dollars to create and construct their individual warming huts. The event has attracted the attention of some of the city’s best architects and artists, as well as a few of the world’s best.

The idea came from a group of young architects and artists who were fascinated by the idea of creating an exhibition on ice. He took that idea to Manitoba Homecoming 2010 who provided the spark to ignite the exposition.

“This new event is a perfect fit for Manitoba Homecoming 2010 and we’re really excited to be a part of it,” says Kevin Walters, Executive Director, Manitoba Homecoming 2010. “Showcasing our local talent keeps with our theme of featuring all that is great about Manitoba. This is just one more reason to come home in 2010. This is a first for Manitoba and a first for Canada. It will be something to see.”
