In Dutch, when one says goodbye<\/i> to a friend, they utter doei<\/i> [do-we]. <\/p>\n
Doei to our beloved oversized Dutch clogs that lined the streets in last year’s exhibit. For the past year these hand-painted Dutch clog sculptures have brightened the City. Creating a buzz in the media and on social media through photo-opps for kids, pets and adults alike, the clogs added a touch a vibrancy to ten different Downtown locations. While it is sad to see them leave the streets it is not goodbye, but rather tot ziens,<\/i> or see you later<\/i>, as the Dutch say.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Currently the Dutch clogs are taking a nap in the Downtown Albany Business Improvement District (BID) office. In cubicles, on conference room tables and anywhere else there is room for a 7-foot clog. The BID office will not be the final resting place however. Their final destinations are yet to be determined. But hurry – the clogs are up for sale and then auction. And already they are moving out the door.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Going once, going twice.. That’s right, we’re selling our soles. Art collectors, shoe lovers, clog crazy friends and Sculpture in the Streets fans are invited to purchase a piece of the Downtown exhibit inspired by Albany’s Dutch heritage. You can view pictures, read artists’ bios and find the perfect fit online. <\/p>\n
Available clogs will be featured at the Sculpture in the Streets Garden Party Silent Auction on Friday, June 14, 2013. Can’t wait? Buy it now options are also available. http:\/\/goo.gl\/3881F<\/p>\n
See you Downtown.<\/p>\n
