[ARETE] Sixteenth Century Society Conference - Baltimore, MD - 26/29 October 2023: Sports and Games in the Renaissance

[Galleries Magazine]

I'm on this great mailing list but I am not an academician, nor someone who can claim previous expertise in Renaissance sports. Is there a place at this conference for an "audience" ?

Please let me know.

​Thank you,

Reid Baron
