Omaha, NE „Ÿ September 2, 2008 „Ÿ Proxibid, the world’s largest provider of live auction webcasting services, today announced that it will provide live online bidding when Babe the Blue Ox crosses the auction block on September 6 at 2:00 p.m. CDT. Nine Babe the Blue Ox statues will be up for auction, closing the summer-long public art initiative entitled, “The Oxtrot: An Expedition of Art in the Lakes Area.” Pre-bidding for this auction is already available at www.proxibid.com/crossingartsalliance.
Similar to “Cows on Parade,” and similar public art displays in other cities and towns throughout the United States, twenty-four Minnesota-made ox statues were uniquely themed and painted by area artists, and placed throughout the Brainard Lakes area. Now, the Crossing Arts Alliance is auctioning the ox statues to raise funds to support arts scholarships and educational programs in area schools.
