Building on the success of the Gobble de Art program, the Blacksburg Partnership will be selling 2-foot miniature versions of the Hokie Bird statues seen around town.
“This continues the community art project that we started a few years ago with the larger Hokie Bird effort to bring attention to the arts in the community,” said Diane Akers, president of the Blacksburg Partnership.
The birds will feature all new designs, beginning with the “Letter Sweater” statue.
“It helps us to promote commercial and retail development,” Akers said.
The statues are priced at $495 apiece. Akers said that the sale of the Hokie Birds acts as a fundraiser for the Gobble de Art organization to benefit the community.
A sample for the next statue, the “Gridiron Gobbler,” will be available by Dec. 1 and orders may directly follow.
Additional designs will become available every quarter, and 50 statues will be released of each individual design.
The Blacksburg Partnership works with Bill Gaither of Wild Art Gifts, LLC in Texas to create the designs. Gaither is also the artist.
