The Beaux Arts Ball was held in early June to celebrate 100 years of the Fine Arts Club and to toast to the next century of the club and its beneficiary, the Arkansas Arts Center. Guests enjoyed drinks and hors d’oeuvres in a lavish setting created and executed by event planner Todd Bagwell. Held in the Arkansas Arts Center, the space was transformed with vignettes of art and decor spanning the past century. The Arkansas Symphony Orchestra Big Band provided dancing music, which attendees enjoyed well into the evening. Lisenne Rockefeller, Curtis and Jackye Finch Jr. and Windstream Communications presented the event; Little Rock Soiree served as media sponsor; and East-Harding Construction as entertainment sponsor.
