Biographical / historical:

Horses Saratoga Style was a 2002 public art event held in Saratoga Springs, NY. As part of the event, juried artists decorated fiberglass life-sized horse molds. Each horse had its own theme -some of which related to the company’s which sponsored the artist. The sculptures were then displayed in various locations in the city from June through October. At the end of the event, some of the sculptures were auctioned off and others purchased by their company sponsor. A few horses remain on display every summer as a reminder of the project.

There were 34 visual artists, working singularly, in pairs and, in one case, through collaboration with 11 artists.There were 24 horses in 2002. Horses Saratoga Style was organized by the Saratoga County Arts Council and the YMCA of Saratoga.
