New Brunswick International Sculpture SymposiumThe Town of Oromocto will be participating in the 2016 New Brunswick International Sculpture Symposium and Artist Jesse Salisbury will create a public sculpture to commemorate our 60th Anniversary. The artwork will be located at the stunning location of our Hazen Park along the Oromocto River. This natural surrounding is the ideal location for reflection of our historic past and a location where our rivers and people meet. We look forward to seeing the final artwork and participating in the world-famous Sculpture Saint John project.
