NYC Fire Museum vs. Disney. Plus a makers workshop for kids in BPC: Seokmin Ko at Art Projects International; concrete at the Skyscraper Museum.

You’ve probably walked by 111 Franklin Street countless times. Tribeca Ball is your invitation to finally step inside. For one night only, New York Academy of Art will throw open its doors and showcase the next generation of art stars. Sip champagne and explore five floors of art, hors d’oeuvres, and entertainment with surprises around every corner – all made possible by title sponsor Van Cleef & Arpels.
Described by Vogue as “a must see for serious collectors and real-deal patrons,” Tribeca Ball is a backstage pass to meet 100 artists in their studios and a perfect excuse to support the school that Andy founded. Tickets available now at tribecaball.com.
