News Release! 3/31/2007: Market Street Artist Does it "Saratoga Style"
This summer, the Saratoga County Arts Council in Saratoga Springs, New York is sponsoring Horses, Saratoga Style 2007. This public art project will feature 34 life-sized fiberglass horses that have been embellished by artists from New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts. One of these horses is being created right here in Lockport by Stephanie M. Dunatov. The artist is affording the public the rare opportunity to watch an art horse "in progress" as she works from her Market Street studio.

The horse, entitled "Ghosts of Saratoga" will chronicle the history of horse-racing in Saratoga Springs, which officially dates back to 1863. The topic is an ideal showcase for Dunatov's work; the artist is best known for incorporating legendary or historical settings into her equine compositions. Dunatov will use paint and collage techniques to decorate the sculpture with artifacts and images that depict a few of the people, events and famous horses that have shaped Saratoga racing throughout the years.

Artists participating in Horses, Saratoga Style, 2007 have been allotted little more than two months to complete their work, before the official unveiling at the end of May. The sculptures will then be on public display throughout Saratoga Springs for the duration of the summer season. Dunatov‘s horse has been sponsored by John and Theresa Behrendt of Saratoga Springs. The precise location where "Ghosts of Saratoga" will be exhibited this summer has not yet been announced.
