THEMED “On The Rocks!”, ROCKY NECK ART COLONY HOSTS ITS ANNUAL BEAUX ARTS BALL SUPPORTING LOCAL ARTISTS.

Friday, April 17, 2015, 7:30 pm. Costume judging and awards 8:30 pm.

The Studio Restaurant, 51 Rocky Neck Avenue, Gloucester, will graciously open its doors prior to its season only for this unique event. Tickets are available at the door or online at www.rockyneckartcolony.org

The Rocky Neck Art Colony’s Beaux Arts Ball is this art community’s most vibrantly festive social event of the season!

Celebrating the art of self-expression, the Beaux Arts Ball, famous for its guests’ exuberantly expressive costumes, invites all to raise a glass of bubbly and feast on fabulous fare. Then, dance the night away in an “On The Rocks!” costume creation that’s gorgeously garish, wildly whimsical, flagrantly flamboyant, ethereally elegant, or funky and fun – or not! Costumes add to the fun, but are certainly optional.

Participate in or simply enjoy the Costume Prize Competition, then try your luck in a raffle for a wide array of handsome gifts: a 3 hour trip for six on the “Windfall”, a 49 foot Hinckley-made sailboat; a hand-made birdhouse crafted by a local artisan; a colorful wheelbarrow filled with Spring gardening tools; a hand crafted full size wooden kayak; cases of locally made craft beers; a brand new bicycle; and a hand designed mirror by a noted artist and other exciting offerings from local donors.

The Beaux Arts Ball is a glorious tradition on Rocky Neck that, over the years, has attracted some of the great lights of the New England art world. So, share in the history, support your local artists, and experience the fun as you strike a pose, bring chaos to couture, hustle your bustle and dance like a dervish at the Beaux Arts Ball!!
