Beaux Arts Ball of 2015
November 11, 2015
The Florence Academy of Arts held its first Beaux Arts Ball this past Friday, the 6th of November, 2015, at the elegant catering facility, Cipriani's 25 on Broadway. It was a huge success in raising funds for the Florence Academy's Building Fund, and it was a spectacular experience. | |
It reminded one of the great balls held in the 1950s by the Art Students League and of course heralds back further to the grand 19th century Beaux Art balls of France in which people came in costumes as famous artists or subjects of famous paintings. This ball was no less of an extravaganza with over 300 in attendance. |
