Public Art in Sussex

Building on the previous success of the mural project initiated in the early 2000’s and the town’s participation in the Sculpture Saint John symposium of 2014, Sussex is proud to be renewing its commitment and desire to connect and engage with the community to transform the spaces where we live, work, learn and play into vibrant, inviting, and meaningful spaces with an enhancement of our public art.

We have introduced a new Public Art Policy to guide this development as we move forward with a new vision for public art in “The Mural Capital of Atlantic Canada”.

We are fortunate and thankful for the expertise and enthusiasm of our volunteer Public Art Committee members who are crucial to the success of this effort.
