Since 2013, SHMF has offered funding for exceptional mentorship opportunities as part of its career development programming.
The latest recipient is sculptor, Jim Boyd, well known in New Brunswick for works created throughout the 10 year Saint John International Sculpture Symposium and installed in Saint John, Hampton, Deer Island, St. George, Oromocto and Grand Bay-Westfield.
In 2024, Mr. Boyd was the single North American sculptor selected to participate in the prestigious International Larvikite Sculpture Symposium Norge 2024. Throughout his Magaret Woodson Nae Mentorship, Boyd will collaborate with European sculpture Rob Good, based in Tuscany, Italy. As with all mentorship fellows, the Board of Directors offers congratulations and hopes for a sustaining professional relationship.
