Please dress to theme: CMYK What is a Beaux Arts Ball you ask? Well, traditionally, it was an elaborate costume ball that became synonymous with odes to art, architecture, and design. Attendees would dress extravagantly and sometimes even as buildings they themselves designed. Beaux Arts Balls were once extremely popular in Philadelphia, but the event literally became too big and the tradition stopped. This year, we are restarting the tradition at Drexel University and hope to one day turn this annual event into the art scene's must-go to event.
