Guests will begin the evening with cocktails and nibbles while the museum will be open for guests to explore the Black Heritage in Racing exhibit. 

Lance Newman will discuss the story of the woman behind his portrait, “The Will of Aunt Eliza.” The piece was the winner of the Kentucky Derby Museum’s Black Heritage in Racing Art Contest. 

Newman will then lead a discussion with Harbut and Daniels as they connect the audience to the past, present and future of Black people in Thoroughbred Racing and arts. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in the conversation during the Q&A session.
