Art Space: New Art Competition Takes a Creative Look at the Preakness

Presented by MICA and the Maryland Jockey Club, the online competition asks artists to present two-dimensional homages to the Baltimore tradition.

Art Space is a recurring element in the UpFront section of our print publication that spotlights a local artist or project making an impact in the city at large. Here’s what’s going on this month:

Before a sea of statement hats and steely horses takes over the Pimlico Race Course for the Preakness Stakes this May, two local institutions will capture the event creatively with The Art of Racing. The online competition, presented by MICA and the Maryland Jockey Club, asks local artists to present their two-dimensional homages to the Baltimore tradition. From March 2-20, fans can cast a vote for their favorite piece, here.
