Public voting has begun for The Art of Racing, the Preakness-inspired art contest in its fourth year. Submissions are on display for public viewing and voting at this link.
After voting has been open for two weeks, the top 10 artworks will advance to the finalist category. A panel of judges will then select the winner. The judges will represent the artistic, business, equine philanthropic, and political communities that support Park Heights’s role as the home of Preakness 150.
The online gallery showcases art by artists who have been enthralled by Thoroughbred horse racing on and off the track. Viewers can see descriptions and insights from the artists themselves to garner a deeper understanding of their creative processes and inspirations.
The winning artwork from The Art of Racing will be featured on a special collection of Preakness merchandise. Proceeds from these sales will directly support Park Heights Renaissance, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating employment and housing opportunities in the Park Heights community.
Public voting for The Art of Racing began Saturday, March 15 and will be open until Friday, March 28, 2025.
