What is a Beaux Arts Ball?
It began in the 17th century, when students at the National Academy of Architecture, Painting and Sculpture in Paris, staged epic masquerade balls at the end of their exams with elaborate costumes modeled after architectural themes that encouraged freedom of expression and social equity for the disguised.
—
Countless architecture institutions, foundations and schools have continued this tradition world-wide and the Portland Society for Architecture and the Maine Interior Design Association are pleased to offer those the opportunity to put their best creativity forward!
Come dressed as your favorite building, architectural theory, or creative interpretation that is generated by the theme: TRANSITIONS.
