After restoration work was completed on the Saint John City Market tower, the building was left with a surplus of more than 60 old windows — and they are now being turned into art. Market vendor and artist Vicky Walker was concerned the old windows would simply end up in the landfill. Artist and market vendor Vicky Walker came up with the idea to paint the windows for charity along with Stephen Chase. She teamed up with Stephen Chase, and the pair decided to let local artists use the windows as their canvas and auction off the paintings for charity. Walker was worried the 60 old windows taken out would end up in a landfill, so she secured ownership of them from the contractors.
