It is part of the partnership between 1/ST and the Park Heights Renaissance and includes the George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan Stakes and the George E. Mitchell Park Heights Community Fellowship Grant. The Art of Racing commemorates the Preakness Stakes, one of the most iconic sporting events in Maryland, through modern visual interpretations.
