The Oxtrot Artists will sponsor an Oxpedititon of Art displayed in the Brainerd Lakes area with over 30 statues of oxen uniquely painted. The idea is reminescent of the Charlie Brown statues and the regional horses from the past years that gained great favor with visitors to the state. The statues are sponsored by individuals and businesses and painted by area artists chosen by the sponsoring organization. The statues may be displayed in front of the sponsoring business or any where else they chose.
This project is sponsored by the Crossing Arts Alliance in partnership with Avalon Studios and the Brainerd Lakes Chamber of Commerce. It has been specifically designed to foster new relationships with area artists and businesses. And of course, there is the all important aspect of tourism that keeps the Lakes area alive.
Babe the Blue Ox will be painting the town next summer and you have a front row seat to the beginning of this Tall Tale. Come discover what “Oxtrotting” is and how You can be part of the Oxpedition.
If you have any questions or need more information please contact the Event Coordinator Josh Porter (218) 851-7965 josh@theoxtrot.com
