Artist designs for ox sculpture sought
The Destination Downtown Coalition, in partnership with the city of Brainerd and The Crossing Arts Alliance, are bringing Babe the Blue Ox to downtown Brainerd.
Nor-Son Construction donated a Babe the Blue Ox statue that’s been at its Baxter office since 2008. After a successful fundraiser of donations from the community to secure the statue and address some much needed repairs, the art center is ready for the next step to find artists to design and paint the ox sculpture.
“We want this to be a community project that adds to downtown Brainerd s uniqueness,” the arts center stated in a news release. “The Crossing Arts Alliance will be putting together a panel to determine location/placement, finding great local artists, and jury the submissions, for who will be doing the honors of creating downtown Brainerd s latest attraction!”
