The middle of October is when the UL Lafayette, College of the Arts typically hosts its annual Beaux Arts Ball, the social event of the Fall and a celebration of the artistic contributions of our students, faculty, and alums, along with raising important and much needed funds that support; Student scholarships, organizations, and recruitment. Additionally, funds raised help support Faculty Development, Faculty/Student Grants, Publicity for public performances, and exhibits that showcase the College. Out of concern for your health and safety, we’ve made the difficult decision to forgo our usual celebration and are pivoting to a Virtual Beaux Arts Ball Week.
By purchasing an item from our Online Beaux Arts Ball Auction - https://beauxartsball2020.ggo.bid not only do you support the College of the Arts, but you also support a regional artist or business.
Leading up to the end of the auction, the College will be hosting several virtual talks, behind the scenes videos, and performances via our Facebook page, along with a special message from the Dean and the SPARK award announcements on the night of Friday October 23rd at 7:00pm.
This year’s theme is A World of Water, and we are calling for one and all to support the UL Lafayette College of the Arts at this year’s virtual ball. Additionally, you can also support the College by making a donation online at http://beauxartsball2019.ggo.mobi/
