Saint John: CBC Maritimes Cultureville

Saint John has been named CBC Maritimes Cultureville for 2011. The diverse arts community and city’s public art funding program are credited with the win.

The CBC contest was described as the search for the region’s “most culturally vibrant community.”  Following last year’s designation as a Cultural Capital of Canada, Saint John is fortunate to be recognized for the culturally assets many artists and volunteers have worked to develop.
