Collaborators Wanted for Beaux Arts Ball
Applications due November 27! A tradition since 1912 at Carnegie Mellon, the Beaux Arts Ball is an avant-garde costume ball hosted by the students from the College of Fine Arts that fosters a sense of community, collaboration, and pride through the celebration of all artistic disciplines.
The Beaux Arts Ball is a high-production and professional opportunity for CMU students to be a part of in order to grow their technical and professional experiences. The Ball is being revived after a long dormant period of 13 years. The official date for the Beaux Arts Ball is April 25, 2020
This is an opportunity for skilled and reliable artists to expand their portfolios and work with larger spaces (all within the CFA building: Great Hall, Mezzanine landings, 2nd and 3rd floor landings). Your work will be an integral part of the Ball, and will be viewed by over 600 people.
The committee invites all artists from all backgrounds to participate in the ball. We are looking for sculptures, installations, new media work, performances and more!
Please email cfacommittee@gmail.com for the application by November 27. You will be asked to provide a resumé and samples of your work.
