The Provincial Institute of Lottery and Casinos (IPLyC) of Buenos Aires, together with the La Plata Racetrack and the Faculty of Arts at the National University of La Plata (UNLP), has launched an unprecedented call for visual artists in the province.
A Monument to Horse Racing Tradition
The competition seeks to select a sculptural proposal that represents the history, identity, and future direction of the La Plata Racetrack, one of Argentina’s most emblematic horse racing venues. The winning work will be materialized and permanently installed on the grounds, becoming part of the racetrack’s cultural heritage.
Participation Requirements and Timeline
Artists over 18 years old residing in Buenos Aires province may participate. Registrations are conducted entirely online and will remain open until September 30, 2026, providing ample time for proposal development.
Creation of Annual Recognition
Beyond the sculpture’s construction, the project will establish the “Dardo Rocha Distinction,” an annual award inspired by the winning work that will be presented to prominent figures in the region’s horse racing industry.
This initiative represents an effort to link art, memory, and territory, strengthening Buenos Aires cultural identity and the relevance of the horse racing industry in the regional context.
