If you’ve spent enough time exploring Ocala, you have definitely noticed the beautifully painted horse statues that grace our city. These horses are the products of a public art project titled Horse Fever, which started as a fundraising project for the formation of Marion Cultural Alliance.
The original Horse Fever project was a tremendous success, with artists and the business community ultimately raising over $1.5 million for the arts and 27 other local charities. Fast-forward 20 years, and we now have the Horse Fever 20/20 project, which celebrates the anniversary but is also a look toward at the future of MCA.
The money raised by Horse Fever 20/20 will benefit the continued operation and ability of MCA to fund grands that support local arts organizations and to ensure the continued growth of the MCA endowment.
