Beaux Arts Ball 2024: HEAT

A benefit for the programs of The Architectural League of New York.

September 20, 2024

Beaux Arts Ball 2024: HEAT affirms and celebrates our commitment to the built environment’s critical transformation in service of more just and caring planetary coexistence, making the most of the pressures that only HEAT can provide.

HEAT is upon us. The intersection of climate change and the built environment is undeniable; and the pressures of HEAT contribute to the ongoing work of spatial justice. For this year’s Beaux Arts Ball, we invite our community to contemplate new futures for the built world as structures of power built on a foundation of extractivism, carbonization, anthropocentrism, and technocracy are put under increasing pressure. Appropriately, we will gather in the Turbine Hall of Powerhouse Arts (PHA), formerly the coal-powered Brooklyn Rapid Transit Power Station, completed in 1904 to serve the borough’s expanding transit system. In alignment with PHA’s mission as well as the League’s—to support creative expression in arts and design—the space will be transformed with an original commissioned installation in dialogue with this year’s theme by Brooklyn-based artist Olalekan Jeyifous.
