1/ST and the Maryland Jockey Club have partnered with the Maryland
Institute College of Art (MICA) to launch The Art of Racing, a unique art competition to honor the
second jewel of the Triple Crown Series and its impact on Baltimore. Established more than four
decades ago, the relationship between the Maryland Jockey Club and MICA takes a step
forward with this community-wide call for entries of original, two-dimensional visual art that
depicts the unique elements of Thoroughbred horse racing and the legendary Preakness
Stakes.

The winning artist of the inaugural competition will receive a $4,000 stipend and two tickets to
Preakness 147 on May 21st, 2022. In addition, their work will be reproduced on Preakness 147
merchandise with the Park Heights Renaissance as the beneficiary of all sales proceeds, which
will be used to support the activities of the non-profit organization as it pursues affordable
housing for families and provides employment opportunities for members of the Park Heights
community.

Beginning Monday, January 10, 2022, and continuing through Wednesday, March 2, 2022, submissions will be accepted. After which, submissions will be available for public viewing.

Artists may submit their entries to www.preakness.com/the-art-of-racing
