In 2004, Aiken Center for the Arts asked local artists to create 32 horses for a project entitled Horseplay. These horses were auctioned off and the money raised supported the completion of our second floor classrooms as well as 20 years of scholarships. Horse Around Aiken Treasure Hunt guides you through nine horses still on display in Aiken’s downtown area. Discover Aiken!
