About the Beaux Arts Ball

Since The Architectural League revived the event in 1990, the Beaux Arts Ball has become a highlight of New York’s design calendar with hundreds of architects, designers, artists, and their friends attending each year. The League holds the event in venues of architectural interest and commissions installations or performances by architects and artists to create a unique environment for party-goers. The event typically begins with a special gathering for benefactors and sponsors, followed by the full Beaux Arts Ball Party hosting as many as one thousand—or more—attendees.

Sites for the Beaux Arts Ball have ranged from the Seagram Building in midtown Manhattan to the Brooklyn Army Terminal, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Powerhouse Arts, and more.

For more information on the event and sponsorship, email the League’s Development and Operations Manager, Daniel Cioffi, at cioffi@archleague.org.
