Treasures of the Turf by Christopher Garibaldi. Next presentation November 1st. 2018 at Salones Canor Teulada. Doors open 10am. for registration and coffee. Following the Arts Society’s recent splendid walk through the London and Paris of Claude Monet, we are invited to gallop along with the Sport of Kings led at a fine pace by Christopher Garibaldi in his presentation ‘Treasures of the Turf’. Christopher Garibaldi is the Director of the National Horseracing  Museum at Newmarket and will be using a wealth of paintings and decorative arts at his disposal to take us on a canter through the Sport of Kings from it’s earliest origins in the 17th century, the development of the racing circuit in Britain and the ever present influence of the Jockey Club, to present day. Christopher has had a distinguished track record in the arts, including as Senior Curator and Keeper of Arts at Norwich
