Lobster sculpture artwork wows the crowd

Ten giant lobster sculptures unveiled as Canada 150 legacy project

There was standing room only at the Barrington Municipal Administrative Centre on Feb. 6 for the unveiling of 10 giant lobster sculptures painted by local artists from Jordan Falls through to Weymouth as a Canada 150 Legacy project.

“This project is truly a community collaboration,” said Suzy Atwood, tourism and community development co- ordinator for the Municipality of Barrington. “One of the lobsters tonight is titled ‘It Takes Many Pieces,’ which is very fitting to this entire project because it truly took many pieces to make it possible.”

“Each lobster is truly a piece of art and we are very honoured to have these to be located throughout the municipality. The artists who contributed exceeded my expectations.”
