What looked like just a ton of granite a month ago is now shaping it’s way into public art.
Sculpture Saint John is in it’s sixth and final week at the Coast Guard Site, where artists from around the world have been sculpting giant granite art pieces for Greater Saint John.
Chair Diana Alexander tells CHSJ news the artists — many who’ve been to over forty symposiums — say it’s the best event they’ve been too. On Saturday, September 15th from 1:00pm – 4:00pm they’ll be having a big reveal called “Rock On The Dock”, where you’ll be able to touch the pieces and talk to the artists.
Alexander says this isn’t the real end of the sculpture symposium. The event has been so successful, they’re planning symposiums every two years until 2020. She hopes pieces from future symposiums can be created for towns from Saint Stephen to Sussex.
