Eighth Annual Beaux Arts Ball ‘Create’

On October 22nd, the College celebrated our eighth annual Beaux Arts Ball. Create was the theme and the College of the Arts was the cause. For the third year in a row we hosted it at the UL Student Union Ballroom, which continues to be great fit. The costumes and table decorations were as wonderful as ever, and a record number of our alumni, faculty, students, and supporters showed up in style to celebrate the College of the Arts. Ed Mathes was announced as this year’s SPARK Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree. 

The Nouveau String Band kept the party going with a range of upbeat tunes, while Arch Design 101 graced the floor of the ballroom displaying their mask designs. Our silent and live auction was bigger than ever and offered a range of original Fine Art pieces, products and services. We even continued our online auction and bidding process, which helped us raised a record setting amount of funds to support our students and faculty. 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to all of our volunteers, sponsors, donors, and attendees. We can’t wait for next year!
