Saturday Sculptures From Fredericton, NB

….in the historic district of Fredericton

There are only 60 000 people in Fredericton but it is the capital of New Brunswick and it had a very vibrant arts community. Our daughter recommended that we visit the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and we weren’t disappointed. On the outside of the gallery and across the street there were numerous sculptures.

New Brunswick is filled with forests

Saturday Sculptures – December 10, 2022

are freestanding Christmas decorations considered sculptures?

I suppose they are sculptures adorned with lights. They have a framework that gives them shape and then are draped with glitter, babbles, stars and lights. Here are a few sculptures from the mall.
