Beaux Arts Ball - Tickets Online

Beaux Arts Ball is almost here!

"Post-Secret"
National Postal Museum
Saturday April 4th, 2009
8 pm -11 pm
$25 for entry tickets

To attend Beaux Arts this year you need to...

I. Purchase your tickets and drink tickets online.
II. Print out the flyer with directions, event and after party info. (May take a minute to load)
III. Read the rules and other stuff associated with your ticket
IV. Dress up, go out, and have a great time!


The ticket includes entrance into the ball hosted at the National Postal Museum, a self coat check, h'ordeurves and non-alcoholic beverages.

For individuals that purchased drink tickets, those will be redeemed at the door of the event after proper identification.

There is also a design contest that revolves around Post Secret, which is a website phenomenon developed by a man in Georgetown. The challenge is to develop a postcard that shares a secret, whether it be an inside joke or a philosophical view. Each attendee is invited to participate, turning in the design at the door to be displayed anonymously, thus the "Post Secret." Then attendees are invited to vote for their favorite design, not knowing the designer. The person chosen receives a "People's Choice award" and a prize. You can view examples at postsecret.com, remembering that we're looking for entrees that are more along the quirky, humorous line rather than the morbid or offensive. There is no size or media restrictions, just no offensive material will be displayed.

If you have any problems or questions feel free to email the AIAS officer team at AIASatCUA@gmail.com or contact Irene Jorden at 410-533-6377.

Than you for joining us for this Catholic University tradition.
