Living in the "Horse Capital of the World" a lot of things get connected to horses, and art is no exception. Even though I am not an equine artist, I am fortunate to have recently been be a part of two local fundraisers that have horses as their theme. Horsetails was initiated to raise money for the Lexington Philharmonic Foundation's Partners in Education initiative and took place during the recent World Equestrian Games. It was an intriguing concept with an exciting range of top notch artists contributing. I recommend you go to the
www.Horsetails2010.com website to read about it and see the art.
Horse Mania 2010 has been going on for months and is about to reach its climax with the live auction this Friday at the Keeneland Sales Pavilion. This is the same facility that hosts the sales of some of the racing worlds top thoroughbreds. The event is organized by LexArts, and proceeds go to many local charities. Again, I encourage you to visit their website
www.HorseMania2010.com for a look at an amazing menagerie.
An added bonus with both events was the publication of an excellent book. I feel privileged to have been included.
