Long Island Horse Show Series for Riders with Disabilities
Returns to the Hampton Classic Horse Show 

 The Hampton Classic Horse Show, returning to Bridgehampton, NY, August 25 - September 1, is proud to once again host the Long Island Horse Show Series for Riders with Disabilities (LIHSSRD) Championships. 
            The Hampton Classic Horse Show features more than 100 classes of competition for horses and riders of all ages. In addition to competitions for riders with disabilities, the Hampton Classic features  Grand Prix and open jumper classes featuring Olympic medalists and other Grand Prix veterans,  a wide range of jumper, hunter, equitation, short stirrup and leadline classes. The highlight is the $250,000 FTI Consulting Grand Prix and FEI World Cup™ Qualifier on Sunday, September 1 which serves as a qualifying competition for the 2014 Longines FEI World Cup Final in Lyon, France next April.
The LIHSSRD Championships, celebrating the 8th anniversary being held at the Hampton Classic, are held on Monday, August 26,  and include three divisions-one for riders requiring the assistance of a leader, one for riders requiring a spotter at the beginner independent level, and one for more advanced independent riders.
            LIHSSRD classes are held at rated competitions throughout Long Island and are open to all riders with a documented disability. Riders compete for points at each show helping them to qualify for the Series Finals at the Hampton Classic. 
            "We are proud to highlight these Championships as part of the Hampton Classic schedule," said Shanette Cohen, Executive Director of the Hampton Classic Horse Show.  "The Championships are the culmination of the LIHSSRD's eight show series and what better place to host the grand finale than here at the Classic which features the leading horses and riders from across the nation."
            The series, founded by Katie McGowan of HorseAbility, Inc., was created to provide riders with disabilities the same competitive experience that other equestrians enjoy. Riders are judged on equitation, and demonstration and knowledge of riding skills. Therapeutic riding students are able to experience physical, emotional, and mental rewards through HorseAbility's motto, "Riding is for Everyone." 
            HorseAbility's mission is to offer a wide range of horse-related programs to children, adults, and families with special needs to promote the physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual well being of its participants. Consultation with participants, their families, and staff takes place on a regular basis to ensure that the appropriate services and programs are being utilized to optimize the impact of their programs. HorseAbility is proud to be the only North American Riding for the Handicapped Association (NARHA) Premier Accredited Center on Long Island. This prestigious title is awarded to centers that demonstrate excellence in providing quality, professional equine assisted activities. 
            There is no admission charge to come to the Hampton Classic and watch the LIHSSRD Finals on Monday, August 26.

Andrew Schoultz: New Work, Opens Thursday, September 5


Andrew Schoultz, Engulfed Ship (Black Flags) (2013), Acrylic And Collage On Canvas Over Panel, 36h x 48w in
 
Andrew Schoultz: New Work
September 5 - October 12, 2013
Reception: Thursday, September 5, 6 - 8pm 
 
 
Morgan Lehman Gallery is very pleased to announce artist Andrew Schoultz's third solo exhibition with the gallery, titled New Work. The exhibition will open September 5, 2013 and run through October 12th, with an opening reception for the artist on September 5th from 6 - 8pm.

Andrew Schoultz's multi-faceted practice incorporates monumental wall murals, paintings, sculptures and mixed-media installations that investigate the urgency and perplexities of our modern time. Over the past decade, Schoultz has developed a frenetic visual vocabulary that stands to challenge the modern pursuit of accumulation and power. Dense with historical symbols of war, spirituality, and imperialism, Schoultz's work serves as a metaphor for contemporary American society, destined to repeat the errors of its past. Juxtaposing influences from 15th century German map making and Persian miniature paintings with highly-stylized graffiti and street art, Schoultz further cultivates this conversation between the past and present.

Often re-appropriating objects laden with cultural and historical implications, Schoultz provocatively confronts significant socio-political issues. In Para Trooping Skull Ship (2013), a green sky of $7,000 in shredded US currency cradles a ship with skull painted flags. Meditation Under Stress (2013) also resonates deeply with issues of corporate and political greed and excess, as, in his signature style, an actual American flag appears to drip or bleed in gold. Images of thrashing waters, erupting volcanoes and distressed trees are also prevalent in his new work, reminding us of nature's devastating fury and recalling the catastrophic realities of global warming. It is through the pulsing repetition of this historically loaded imagery, as it continues to be redefined in the face of a contemporary world, that Schoultz's cultural, political and environmental commentary can accurately reflect the turmoil of today's America.

Andrew Schoultz received his BFA from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco (CA). Schoultz's first solo museum show "In Process" is currently on view at The Monterey Museum of Art. This important exhibition features work from an extensive list of prominent collections and includes four major site-specific installations based upon the local histories of Monterey. His work is collected by major public institutions, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), Frederick R. Weisman Foundation (CA) and the Progressive Art Collection (OH). His murals can be found in various public locations nationally and internationally. Schoultz currently lives and works in San Francisco, CA.
