Through the Looking Glass
2024 Beaux Arts Ball:
A Beaux Arts Ball (pronounced "boze art") is a fundraising gala traditionally held to support visual arts organizations, such as ours! Won't you follow us down the rabbit hole by becoming a sponsor or buying tickets and attending the event. Tickets on sale NOW!
After costs, 100% of the proceeds from this fundraising gala will go to support our community arts mission, bringing free and low-cost visual art education and opportunities to all ages and abilities in our communities.
Thank you for your support!
