Beaux Arts Ball 2023: SEA CHANGE

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

September 29, 2023
9:00 p.m.

Thank you to all who came and celebrated with us at SEA CHANGE. We deeply appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you next year!

Turbulence and flux are also charged with possibility. In the midst of epochal planetary transformations, Beaux Arts Ball 2023: SEA CHANGE is a call to collective action—an invitation to jump into the fray.

Beaux Arts Ball 2023: SEA CHANGE celebrates circularity, reinvention, and the interdependence of planetary ecosystems and the built environment. In 2023, the Ball returns to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Agger Fish Corp.’s Building 269, site of our 2019 and 2022 events. This year, the space will be transformed with an immersive installation by Brooklyn-based studio CO Adaptive, conceived in dialogue with this year’s theme, and with lighting design by Joel Fitzpatrick and Ken Farmer. The exuberant graphic identity has once again been crafted by Michael Bierut and Britt Cobb of Pentagram.
