Beaux Arts Fall Ball Recap
Body paint, glitter, and glow-sticks all were in abundance at Lexington’s Beaux Arts Fall Ball. The event fell on October 30th this year, the Saturday night before Halloween at Buster’s Billiards and Backroom. People came out for a night of dancing, DJ’s, food, drinks, and to show off their unique and flashy costume ideas. The event was packed with people having a fabulous time while enjoying the music and the lights. The venue was decorated for the event in exciting colors and a Halloween theme. There was an impressive dancing robot on a platform that everyone seemed to enjoy.

My roommate from last year and her friends went to Beaux Arts last year and they were all dressed crazy like this. They were all showing a lot of skin, i feel like more then you would see with regular costumes. I thought it would be really cool to experience Beaux Arts, but i also heard that you had to be 21 and that it was pretty pricey.
This sounds liek so much fun! I just went to a date party for my sorority Saturday, but had that not been going on I probably would have gone there because it seems like so much fun with all the lights, music and dancing! It would have been awesome to see all the different costumes as well, and people adding a different spin on them and making themselves a "neon indians."
I've always wanted to go to this!!! It looks like so much fun. I've been out at the bars afterward and seen people who have just come from of and they are always in crazy outfits! The blog did a good job giving people who haven't been an idea of what the atmosphere is like!!

I heard that this was so much fun and its even more fun to just go to people watch! I hope i get to go next year and experiance the whole atmosphere of it!!
I've never been to one of these, but people I know have and it sounds like so much fun. I love seeing all the costumes, they are so creative and truly one of a kind. I had no idea that anyone who wanted to attend could. I will definitely keep this in mind for next year.
I have never been to this, but it looks, and sounds like a lot of fun! I may have to check into it next year. Homemade costumes are always a blast, you get to have fun making them and even more fun wearing them! I liked the neon indians.

I went to the fall ball and it was so much fun! It was the craziest thing I have ever seen! Some people were so creative with their costumes! The music was great and the decorations were wild! and you didnt have to be 21, just 18!
Although I have never been to Beaux Art ball I have always thought it was a unique thing about Lexington. It is definitely an artistic atmosphere and party event of the semester. I was surprised because I hadn't heard anyone talking about it and then I saw the blog post and didn't realize it already occurred. In the past I feel like I always knew when the event was coming and heard people talking a lot about it. That was not the case this year. But from the post, it looks like it was once again a great success.

I hadn't heard of this going on, but it sounds like it was a lot of fun! I think the reason why most of the costumes were handmade was because most of the people attending the ball were college students, which don't have a lot of money. I know I personally made my costume as well and also participating in using body paint to pull off my costume! Also, i would agree with that cold weather is never an issue for Halloween, because people are going to still where their costume no matter what.
I have never been to the Beaux Arts Ball but a ton of my friends have been and they say it is so much fun. I like how outrageous the costumes are and that most of them are homemade. It really sets this event apart from many other events around Halloween. It looks like it went really well and hopefully I will be able to attend next year's!

I've never heard of this event, but it looks like a lot of fun. Who doesn't like crazy costumes and dancing? If I ever get the chance to attend, I definitely will!

I have never attended this type of event, but I have heard a lot about it. I took an interior design class last semester and our teacher spent an entire lecture talking about this ball. He said nothing but great things about it and how much fun it is to attend. The costumes look very interesting and the pictures posted portray that everyone attending was really enjoying themselves and having a really great time.

I've always wanted to go to this but I've missed every year including this one. It looks like an awesome time and definitely plan on attending next year. The costumes look great and everyone looks like they're having an awesome time. Can't wait til next year!

The Beaux Arts Ball event seems like it would be so much fun and even a little crazy. I have never heard of the event before and wish i got the opportunity to go check it out. It seems the best part of the event has to be be dressing up. The costumes are very out there and different. In the pictures the costumes look great!
I've never heard of this event but it looks and sounds like it's a blast! I will have to check it out next year. I'm all for the homemade costumes! It gives people a chance to reveal their creative side and sometimes the costumes turn out better than the store purchased ones!
--Jordan Jenkins
I have never heard of this place or event before! It sounds very interesting and a fun place for college students to go. All the costumes seem very cool and creative.
This was the first time I had ever heard of this event! It looks like alot of fun! I can imagine that the costumes were very creative! I'm going to look into this next year!!
For some reason I always thought the Beaux Arts Ball was really fancy and elegant. It's great to see that it is really all about dressing up in costume and having fun. It was a really great idea to have it on the Saturday before Halloween, everyone was already in the dressing up spirit!
I have never heard of the the Beaux Arts Ball. It sounds like a great idea and lots of fun! I'm sure it was interesting to see everyone's hand-made costumes. It can show how creative someone really is! I am sure this was a huge money maker party as well!
This looks like a really cool even to go to. Getting to dress up in creative costumes is always fun. Having it close to Halloween is a good idea too. I'd really like to go to this at least one time.

It sounds like Beaux Arts was really good this year! I really wanted to go, but chose to go to Rocky Horror instead. I think the neon indian costume was a great idea. The bloggers did a good job capturing the spirit of the night with their choice of photos!
-Rob Stromquist
I wish I would have known about this event; it looks like everyone had a blast! I hope next year they will promote this event a little more so I will have the chance to go. Halloween is a great time of the year for people to show off their creativity in their costumes!
-Kayla Sienkowski
I had never heard of this event but it looks like a lot of fun. I love the pictures used in the blog, it really recreates the atmosphere. I like all the different costumes and how creative they were. It looks like everyone had a great time.
Some of my friends make this a "never miss" event for the last 2 years and after hearing their stores, seeing their inventive costumes, and even the pictures above; definitely makes this a "never miss" event when I can actually go. I love the creativity that comes out when people make their costumes on their own!! I can't wait to goo!
I had no clue this was even an event over Halloween weekend! It sounds like it would have been something really fun to go to and get dressed up for. I was a hippie for Halloween and definitely would have fit in with the native american costumes. Great job capturing these photos!

I've been to every Beaux Art ball since my freshman year at UK. The costumes the people dress in are definitely more over the top than your typical Halloween party. Some people even choose not to wear a costume and go the body paint route instead. Beaux's is something everyone should at least experience once in their time in Lexington because of the extremely unique atmosphere and fashion choices. Anything goes at Beaux's.
--Kasey Paterson
The Beaux Art Ball looks extremely interesting and fun. I love the looks of the pictures. It seems like a fun event and atmosphere. Their costumes are great. Ive never heard of anything like it coming from a small town. I love art, and especially a more kind of expressive atmosphere. It just put you in the mood to create. The fashion on halloween is always interesting.
I havent heard of the Beaux Art Ball before, but it sounds like a really fun event! My favorite part of halloween is seeing the creative outfits people wear.Its sounds like a great way to spend halloween.I might have to check it out next year.

I had never heard of this ball, which suprises me being that it is a seeemingly elaborate event centered around the typical party holiday for college students. Although the neon/psychedelic color spectrums and relative decorations have been a common party theme trend, I think the 'dancing robot' added a unique techno twist. It also reflects the artistic aspect/background of the party's host, especially if the robot's movement was in conjunction with the flashing lights and music. Based on your photos and description, this sounds like an event I will surely plan on attending next year!
This event looks like a lot of fun! I have actually never heard of it and that surprises me as well seeing that it is such a big event. I think creating your own costumes makes Halloween so much more fun. It not only guarantees that your costume is one of a kind and no one else will have it, but they're a lot of fun to make.
-Katie Fisher
I saw this advertised in classrooms throughout the university and thought that it looked fun! if I had known more about it i probably would have gone! I love Halloween its one of my favorite holidays and I can't wait til next year ! I am already counting down the days.
Elizabeth Griffith
I had never heard of this event until I read your blog great publicity! It seems like a great place to have so much fun and to socialize. I would have loved to attend the Arts Fair maybe next years I can get my friends to attend with me.
I've never been to the beaux arts ball, but I have heard that it is an awesome party. I didn't know that most of the people made their costumes, but I think that makes the even more interesting as people show some of their creativity. I'm sure the event was fun and unforgettable and I hope to go to the event next year.
Drew McCombs
I know a couple of people that go to this every year and there costumes are definitely flashy, but take the phrase "minimal clothing" pretty far! It looks like a ton of fun either way, I may have to check it out for next year!
-Bethany Davis
This ball seemed like it was a great idea, what other way to celebrate halloween. it looks like it was alot of fun. Who ever came up with the idea to throw this function did a good job because n the pictures you could tell by the amount of people it was a good turnout.
-jannifer buchanan
This looks like a blast!! I love seeing all different kinds of costumes and ideas that people an come up with! I wasnt in town for halloween unfortunately but this would be something fun to go to instead of your average halloween party! I will definitely remember this for next year!
-Danielle Custer
I've never heard of this Beaux Arts Fall Ball but from this post it appears to be an awesome event. A night of dancing and food with friends sounds amazing. I like that it was Halloween themed too, what a great way to get creative with your own costume and see other people's clever costume ideas.
-Paige Hofmann
I have never heard of something like this before, and would not have guessed that anyone can go! But it sounds like it would be a great time, and all of the creative costumes would be fun to go and see. This is something I will be keeping in mind for next year and hope to go to.
I've never been to fall ball but I've been to the beaux arts ball the past 5 years. I'm glad to hear that they held fall ball at busters. The beaux arts ball was located there a couple times in the past and was a great venue.Everyone should def go the the beauz arts ball in the spring!
-Rebecca Ramos
Some girls in my sorority went to the spring ball that was last semester and dressed crazy! They went with a couple guys who just wore something on the bottom and painted the rest of their body with all different colors and patterns. If you've ever been out in Lexington when Beaux Arts is going on it's a lot of fun to look at the crazy costumes people come up with! The girls that went dressed up as peppermints and had a lot of fun making their costumes together! I didn't know that they had a fall ball around Halloween though. That seems like it would be a good party to attend for the holiday!
-Abby Theobald
I have always wanted to go to this. I think it would be great to dress up and be surrounded with everyone's unique costumes and the neon lights. I just never know it's going on until a day or so before. Next year I will definitely find out when and where it is and be in attendance to experience this ball.
I have never been to this event, but I have friends who attend. It looks really interesting and they always seem to have a good time. I love catching the picture of how their body art turned out. A great way to be festive and care free, it's like the next best thing to halloween!
-Amber Olinger
I've actually never heard of this event but it looks fun! Maybe i'll get to go next year because it looks really cool, especially for something to do for halloween.
-Layla Boliha
From the pictures this Halloween party seemed to be a lot of fun. I would have loved to see the creative ideas that people had with the body paint. But the best part about Halloween is seeing people in their self made costumes. I really like the idea of the dancing robot at the party too.
This looks like an interesting event although i have never heard about it. Any think including dancing dj's and costume is bound to be a good time. I'll be sure to look into to it next Halloween.
This event looks like it was very successful. I like how people were creative with their costumes instead of just purchasing one from a costume store. I have never attended this event but it looks like a good idea for the future!This is a good place for everyone to show off their unique hallow costume.
-Olivia Rink
From the pictures posted and the stories I've heard about this event, I have to go one year. It seems like you can just let loose and be creative with what you wear. Going with a group of your closest friends would be a blast.
Kerri Prichard
I find it very exciting and encouraging seeing people expressing themselves through their style by dressing in unique ways. Halloween is the perfect time to do this! You have the opportunity to dress however you want without judgment. I think this can be seen at the Beaux Ball through the homemade costumes as people cared more about having fun and expressing creativity than looking absolutely perfect.
This truly seems like an event that everyone must attend at some point in their life! I am so jealous I didn't make it! The costumes look awesome and I am sure there was a countless number of unique others at the event!
-Kyrie Cloud
To be honest I have never heard of this event. It looks like a very fun upbeat environment. The picture taken for this blog were very nice along with the costumes featured at the party.
I have never been to one nor have i heard about it till now but it seems like it would be interesting and the costumes look unique and one of kind. ill have to try to go next year!
I think this is really cool. I had never heard of this before and think that it would have been awesome to attend. Maybe they should have advertised it more because i know i would have gone if i knew and other people would have too. But i can always look forward to another one next year!
-Adria Hearn
I have seen posters around campus and other places about this. It looks so neat and so much fun! My friends and I are already looking forward to going to this next year to this. It would be interesting to see how everyone is dressed up! From the pictures it looks like a good time and everyone is showing their unique self in costumes.
Jessica Stockdale
I have never heard of this event but it looks like so much fun! I will definitly keep this in mind for next year! I like how everyone makes their own costumes and shows off their creativity!
-Christine Wolfzorn
It's sooooo much fun! I did the other blog for Beaux Arts Ball and definitely recommend for everyone to attend the Spring ball. It was amazing, for sure! The tickets are cheap, go to a great cause, and is for everyone 18+. I wore a feathered bikini to the Ball and loved making the costume!
This sounds so much fun. I would of love to go maybe next year I can get alot of my friends to go. I love to be creative and make costumes that are fun and flirty and show off your creative side.
I would have loved to of gone, but I didn't even know this was going on during Halloween. I didn't hear anything about it, but I guess I'll shoot for next year. I dressed up as a cat, not too original, but I was cute. This event sounds like so much fun, even the pictures are neat!
