6 regional locations will soon have a new sculpture to call their own. The huge undertaking that is Sculpture Saint John seeing the completion of 6 new works of arts on the old Coast Guard site.
Organizer Dianna Alexander tells CHSJ the idea came about when St. Andrew’s sculptur Ken Waywood suggested it to the City’s Community Arts Board in 2008.
She says at the time they were busy with Saint John 225 so the real planning for this event didn’t start until last July.
Artist Jo Kley of Germany created a sculpture for Rothesay inspired by the water.
He says the title is “The Ark” and it’s a boat inspired by the the town and the Kennebecasis River.
Kley tells us he would love to come back & is already telling friends about working in Saint John.
Installation of the sculptures that will live forever in St. George, UNB Saint John and Grand Bay-Westfield begins today.
