We have exciting news! Beginning this January, KPW Productions will host an art gallery during the Winter Equestrian Festival. This 12-week art show featuring six different solo art exhibitions will take place at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center in Wellington, Florida.
Kathy Warden has had a lifelong passion for art, horses, and dogs. Our mission is to introduce artists and their work to the equestrian community and to connect with people through art. Horses, dogs, and nature are the common subject matter for our artists.
Each artist will have a two-week exhibition in a Vendor Tent and, a Stephex horse trailer that will be retrofitted with wall space to serve as a mobile gallery to be parked on Hunter Hill. During the season, we will move our ‘Mobile Art Gallery’ over to the Polo grounds and Dressage competitions; bringing the artwork to those who love Polo and Dressage.
During each two-week art exhibition, we’ll host a meet-and-greet, giving visitors the opportunity to meet the featured artist and learn more about their creative process and the inspiration behind each piece of art. KPW will be curating art installations at special events both on and off the showgrounds.
See below for the art show schedule and information about the six featured artists. For a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the art show, follow us @kpwproductions on Instagram!
