The Downtown Arts Club is very pleased to announce the 1st Beaux Arts Ball des Artistes, presented by Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte, to be held in New York City on April 1, 2005 in the Grand Ballroom of the Manhattan Center. The Ball, which follows in the tradition of the legendary art students' party in Paris, is intended to celebrate and welcome the next generation of artists to the New York community. There will be light hors d'oeuvres, an open bar, and dancing all night to the music of renowned DJ Johnny Dynell.
The centerpiece of the ball is a competition among teams of graduating art students representing six New York art schools, including National Academy School of Fine Arts, New York Academy of Art, Pratt Institute, School of Visual Arts, Fashion Institute of Technology, and New York Studio School. A team of students from each school will build a float on the theme of Beauty. At midnight, the floats will be presented to the guests and a panel of judges who will select a winning float based on various criteria. The team of students responsible for the float will be awarded a week-long trip to Paris to meet artists, visit galleries and museums, and experience the rich artistic culture of the city.
The Ball and the Paris Tour are being presented by Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte.

Multimedia design firm Tronic Studio will have its first solo museum exhibition at Knoxville Museum of Art's Design Lab Gallery.
Founded by Jesse Seppi and Vivian Rosenthal in the summer of 2001 after their graduation from Columbia University, New York, Tronic Studio is known for creating immerse experiences, a result of their architectural backgrounds.
In 2004 they branded and created the environment for NextFest, Wired magazine's interactive technology conference. Because of the success of their design, they will reprise their role in 2005.
Other Tronic Studio projects include 3-D animated commercials on screens in Times Square, illustrations for Wired magazine, an animated helicopter for the Broadway production of Miss Saigon, 3-D visualizations for Nikelab, and an interactive / interface kiosk titled The Retail Experiment at New York's Diesel Denim Gallery, to name a few.
The kiosk created an image of a shopper's face and morphed it into a younger version of that person, suggesting that the act of shopping is equivalent to the act of physical change and reverse aging.
The exhibition is open until April 17 2005.

Hollywood star Richard Gere and Brit artist Tracey Emin are among 30 celebrities who have designed "works of heart" to help sick children.
Christian Slater, Ricky Gervais, Joanna Lumley, Ulrika Jonsson and Sir Richard Branson have also created heart-themed pictures to be sold in aid of heart surgery charity Chain of Hope.
Gere's piece, designed with his young son Homer, shows a large pink heart with three smaller red hearts on it.
Both have signed the work, Gere Senior in a somewhat more steady hand.
Emin's heart is a line drawing entitled "Redundant Vargina" (sic), which appears to show a pair of legs.
The Office star Gervais has drawn a simple heart pierced by an arrow.
The works will be sold at auction in London to raise cash for heart surgery for children across the developing world.
Pioneering heart surgeon Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub, the founder of Chain of Hope, said: "It is an honour to have so many of Britain's major creative talents contributing to the event.
"Their generous support gives a huge boost to the charity's work in 2005."
