The Horse Mania horses have entered the ring, well, 33 of them have.

Bidding for this year’s Horse Mania art projects is officially open + winners will be announced at the LexArts’ Fabulous at 50 Anniversary Celebration on Fri., Dec. 2 at 7 p.m.

Also happening at the event will be a special bourbon auction called the Whisky Wall of Wonder. LexArts has partnered with Maker’s Mark to create a special LexArts Artisan Blend. In true LexArts fashion, the 200+ bottles from the barrel will be hand-painted by local and regional artists.

One hundred of the bottles are available for purchase now — you’ll receive a golden ticket to choose your bottle from the Whiskey Wall of Wonder — and the remaining 100 will be available during the auction that evening.

All funds raised throughout the evening will go back into the community through grants, partner organizations, and more.
