Horse of a different color: Cocktails & Carousels fundraiser transforms carousel figures into works of art

The Frederick Arts Council and the Frederick Keys have worked together for many years to bring the annual Art in the Park event to Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium. So when the Keys began deconstructing an old carousel at the stadium as part of recent renovations there, they reached out to FAC to ask if the carousel figures might be of any use.

That offer ultimately became Cocktails & Carousels, an Arts Council fundraiser that will culminate with a live auction event on Sept. 24 at 7th Sister in downtown Frederick.
