About Derby Days 2008

20 North Gallery presents the 8th Annual Derby Days exhibit, featuring the best in equine art by thirteen local, regional and national artists. Horse-themed artwork in a variety of media--painting, drawing, pastel, photography, prints and sculpture--will share the spotlight with historic, international, archival equestrian memorabilia from the collection of 20 North Gallery Art Director Peggy Brennan Grant. The show begins on May 3rd, Derby Day, with a televised broadcast of the Kentucky Derby to kick off this annual celebration of art and racing in Toledo, Ohio. Prior to the "run for the roses", the gallery will host an informal trunk show of the latest in millinery design with hats from international designers, courtesy of The Preacher's Wife Fine Millinery shop, Toledo, Ohio.

On May 17th, 4p.m., Peggy Brennan Grant will share The Sport of Kings: the History of Thoroughbred Racing, a talk about the rich history of racing as she saw it through her family's one hundred-year connection with the "sport of kings." Peggy will speak of her grandfather's, father's and brother's major roles in the racing world, connecting the royal House of Windsor to the horse owners of Toledo and Baltimore, through thoroughbred, hunt and steeplechase races. The talk and reception are free and open to the public. Following the talk, the event will continue with the televised running of the Preakness. To celebrate the second crown of the famous triple crown of horse racing, the gallery will hold a free drawing for a framed color print (pictured below) of the great horse Seabiscuit by the great painter of famous horses, Franklin B. Voss.
