The New York Academy of Art’s annual Tribeca Ball is set to dazzle art enthusiasts and socialites alike on April 15, 2025. This year’s event promises an unforgettable evening of artistic discovery, glamour, and entertainment across multiple floors of the Academy’s historic building at 111 Franklin Street.
A Night of Artistic Exploration
Attendees will have the unique opportunity to explore over 100 artist studios transformed into pop-up galleries, showcasing the talents of emerging artists and Academy students. From the basement to the top floor, guests will be immersed in a world of creativity, with each studio offering a glimpse into the artistic process and the latest in contemporary art.
Van Cleef & Arpels: A Touch of Luxury
Adding a touch of luxury to the evening, Van Cleef & Arpels will present their latest jewels in a stunning installation. The renowned jewelry house, known for its exquisite craftsmanship, will showcase its newest creations, including the Lady Arpels Bal des Amoureux Automate watch, recently unveiled at the Watches and Wonders fair in Geneva.
The Tribeca Ball is not just about visual art; it’s a multi-sensory experience designed to surprise and delight guests at every turn. This year’s event will feature tarot readings for those seeking mystical insights, music performances throughout the venue, contortionists, and stilt walkers adding a touch of circus-like wonder. The event will also include live portrait drawings, offering guests a chance to become part of the art.
While the Tribeca Ball is undoubtedly a night of celebration, it serves a greater purpose. Proceeds from the event will benefit the New York Academy of Art’s scholarship and public programming funds, ensuring that the next generation of artists receives the support and education they need to thrive.
Additionally, the Academy is offering select artworks for sale in advance of the Tribeca Ball by many of the students. Get your hands on art by MFA and CFA students before it closes on Sunday. Shop the Tribeca Ball Online Preview Sale here
