Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted January 21, 2019 Journalists Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hundreds of works by student artists went on display Monday for the Kentucky Derby Museum’s 33rd annual Horsing Around with Art: A Student’s view of the Sport of Kings competition, presented by WinStar Farm. The competition is open to 1st-12th graders from the Louisville, Kentucky area. A total of 223 pieces were submitted by 30 schools this year. “Every year we look forward to the unbelievable talent and creativity showcased by all the students who participate in Horsing Around with Art,” Kentucky Derby Museum President Patrick Armstrong said. “It is a wonderful way to celebrate and champion the arts in our local schools as well as the extraordinary event that is the Kentucky Derby.” WinStar President and CEO Elliott Walden added, “WinStar is proud once again to sponsor the Kentucky Derby Museum’s student art competition. It is such a wonderful event that supports the student’s artistic talent, but also encourages them to immerse themselves in the Thoroughbred industry. It’s a great way to connect new fans to the sport and generate excitement for one of the industry’s most celebrated events.” Works will be on display through Feb. 17 in the Museum’s Matt Winn Gallery, and a panel of judges will select winners in a number of categories.
