BERTHOUD, Colo. - eTradeWire -- Berthoud, Colorado's City Star Brewing is bringing artist Gamma Acosta (@GammaGallery) back to town for this week's Colorado Snow Sculpting Competition. Four years ago City Star commissioned Gamma to paint "All In at City Star" in the taproom's beer garden. The mural was created completely free-hand, using only spray cans (no stencils, etching or projector) on the 700 square foot concrete canvas. Gamma's work is a main feature at the decade old craft brewery, admired by regulars and newcomers alike.

In the Competition Gamma Acosta leads team Frio Trio along with Colorado based tattoo artist Thyris Rodney. Together they will carve one of 9 giant snow cylinders in Fickel Park. Gamma's experience in carving snow most notably includes a snow sculpture he carved (and spray painted!) for his 95 year old grandmother to view outside her window. However, this competition will be his first of its nature. 48 hours before teams begin carving Gamma hadn't settled on a final concept for their sculpture. He promises something intricate and thoughtful.
