Each year, for over 30 years, the Hampton Classic holds an art poster competition for the official poster sold as a souvenir at the International Grand Prix event in Bridgehampton. Attended by the top riders in the world, celebrities, movie stars and a highly knowledgable crowd of equine experts, art aficionados and collectors. Patrick's artwork shown above was selected as this year's winner. In addition to the poster, this year the event organizers also created tee shirts , pint glasses,ceramic trivets and note cards, all with Patrick's design. The response was incredible! The tees, glasses and trivets sold out in 3 days and the signed and numbered posters which brought $200ea sold out before the event was over. Many people stopped by Patrick's exhibit in the garden section to say it was their favorite poster of all time! It was also featured on the cover of Dan's Papers, the weekly news magazine of the Hamptons. In an on air interview with WLNG Radio FM 92.1, Sag Harbor, Patrick stated "What an honor it is for my art to be passionately embraced by such a knowledgable art community. Valerie and I love the Hamptons and look forward each year to seeing old friends at the Classic. It's just great energy and a fun event. ">
