Norton Museum of Art Hosts 33rd Annual Bal des Arts with Joie de Vivre

The 33rd Annual Bal des Arts, Impressions of an Age, took place at the Norton Museum of Art on Saturday, February 7, 2009, from 7:00 to 11:00 p.m.

Event Chairmen, Paula and Mark Cook welcomed 240 guests into the Museum for an exciting and elegant evening themed around an exclusive preview of the special exhibition Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism, organized by the Brooklyn Museum, which will be on view at the Norton Museum through May 10, 2009.

The Bal des Arts was a truly extraordinary event which included the preview of Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism, an elegant cocktail hour followed by a French inspired dinner, dancing to the music of Sugar and Spice, the Jimmy Church Band from Nashville, and an exciting Jeux de Casino, featuring high-end prizes which were awarded to the evening’s biggest winners; including a fabulous platinum and diamond three row bracelet from Tiffany & Co., the event’s Grand Jewelry Benefactor; a one-year lease on a Mini Cooper from Braham Motorcars; and a three-day, two-night theater themed trip to New York City. An absolute highlight of the evening was the Moulin Rouge inspired entertainment consisting of can-can dancers and cabaret performers.
