HorseMania 2010 : Art in Lexington

Have you seen the horses of HorseMania 2010? In July, 89 full-zied fiberglass horses and 50 foals, were revealed to Lexington, Kentucky. Each horse was designed by the many artists involved in the project.

"No public art initiative in our city’s history has captured the hearts and imaginations of Lexingtonians and visitors as did Horse Mania back in 2000. Horse Mania 2010 promises to be even more popular!

After their public viewing this summer and fall, the horses will be auctioned off in the Keeneland Sales Arena on December 11. Proceeds from the auction will benefit LexArts’ public art programs and non-profit charities throughout the region."

Here are some examples of our favorites..
