Sculpture Saint John getting a financial boost from the province to the tune of 40 thousand dollars just prior to the start of work on large pieces of granite down on the coast guard site at the waterfront which you’ll be able to see created.
Six sculptors have come to Saint John from different parts of the world to create works of art with the help of local interns over the next six weeks beginning tomorrow.
Diana Alexander tells CHSJ News the works of art are already destined for permanent locations in the region in Rothesay, Quispamsis, Grand Bay-Westfield, St. George, U-N-B Saint John as well as the city.
Alexander says 150 artists from 47 different countries applied to take part in this symposium. Those who were chosen come from such far flung locations as Japan, Germany and Bulgaria.
