Complete your Preakness Festival 150 celebrations with an evening of art, Baltimore storytelling, and celebration honoring the legacy of George ‘Spider’ Anderson, the first African American jockey to win the inaugural Preakness Stakes. Join BLIFTD ART STVDIOS for a special unveiling ceremony and reception spotlighting a new work by acclaimed Baltimore-based artist Jeffrey Kent. Joining Kent in conversation is curator, real estate developer, and cultural advocate Dana Henson, whose recent art commissions in Park Heights pay tribute to Anderson and further her community-driven efforts in the neighborhood “beyond the racetracks.” Their discussion will explore the intersections of art, legacy, and place-making in Baltimore.
