UPTOWN BOX ART

The Uptown Saint John BIA is super excited to present TWO new art installations in 2026.

As well, we will be installing 18 banners created by talented local students along Princess Street this summer. We are very proud to include this element of art appreciation and placemaking in our Uptown Box Art 2026 project.
