City Arts Board wants Peel Plaza to be a public place

Saint John Arts Board Chair Mike Wennberg says art is the key factor in making Peel Plaza more than just a set of buildings.


After a presentation from Wennberg suggesting a public art committee should be formed, Police Commission Chairman Christopher Waldschutz says installing art at Peel Plaza is inevitable.


The City has already adopted a policy saying they must put 1% of capital towards public art.


Wennberg hopes the piece for Peel Plaza will be outside where people have access to it.
