Another Sculpturing Symposium In Saint John

Sculpture Saint John is getting a financial boost from the province to the tune of 50 thousand dollars to stage another symposium in 2014 on the heels of last year's successful event on the waterfront. 

It drew more than 35 thousand people to see the sculptors at work including 5 thousand on the final day and turned out to be the largest event of the year in the province. 

Diana Alexander of Sculpture Saint John tells CHSJ News next summer, there will be 8 sculptors instead of 6. Applications have already come in from around the world.

Alexander says the sculpting will be taking place at a different location which has yet to be determined but she promises it will be visible. 

 
Her vision will see a total of 72 sculptures in various communities along an international sculpture trail from Bangor to the Kennebecasis Valley by 2020.
