2020 Barnes Art Ball
Friday, October 16
Celebrating the power of art to uplift and inspire.
About the Event
The Barnes Art Ball returns this fall, bringing together philanthropists, thought leaders, artists, collectors, and connectors to celebrate the power of art to uplift and inspire.
This year, our annual benefit coincides with the landmark exhibition Elijah Pierce’s America, featuring the rich and varied sculpture of virtuoso woodcarver Elijah Pierce. His legacy inspires this celebration of the creative voice within us all.
As the health and safety of our community is our greatest priority, we will be working flexibly and nimbly to create a memorable event that will take place on-site, virtually, or perhaps a mixture of both. We hope you will join us!
Funds raised from the Barnes Art Ball support the Barnes Foundation’s ability to present thought-provoking exhibitions, unlock the compelling stories within our renowned collection, and engage our diverse community through innovative educational and community-based programs.
