Sculpture Saint John – Witness The Sculptures Being Created

Posted on August 27, 2018 in Art Exhibit, Featured, Uptown Saint John by Tracy

Once again, we are so lucky to have these artistic and extremely impressive pieces being created before our very eyes, right in our backyard.

The artists and apprentices began their creations from scratch on August 9th and will continue to work and refine them until September 22nd. It is such a privilege to witness these pieces in the making, as well as interact with the artists on a daily basis. Stop by and receive a free private tour. Then perhaps, cross the street to Gahan House for a glass of the signature ‘Hoppy Stone Fruit Pale Ale.’ With each drink, $1 is donated to Sculpure SJ – so, bottom’s up!
