Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) is hosting its first national rotating art exhibit, the Colorful World of Polo. The Exhibit consists of three statues from a limited edition of fiberglass polo players on horseback that have been painted by renowned artists in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Polo America. The statues have all been donated and are scheduled to be auctioned off with proceeds to benefit The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. The exhibit will be on display in the airport boarding gate area now through July 10, 2014.

The limited edition statues were produced by Polo America and given to artists around the county to be hand painted. Each artist was invited to artistically transform their polo player model in any way they wished while keeping the structural integrity of the form intact.

On August 23rd the statues will be auctioned at the San Diego Polo Club to raise funds for The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. The fund was formed to provide immediate financial assistance and lifetime support for injured and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families.

The artists on display at AGS are Joanne Helfert-Sullam from Brooklyn, New York with Polo Africa and Ford Pony sponsored by Polo America and Pat Levey from Lake Park, Florida with Polo Shopper sponsored by Standard Aero.
