MASTERS & MUSES FINE ARTS BALL by the NEWPORT ARTISTS COLLECTIVE

The Fine Arts Ball for 2026 theme is MASTERS & MUSES and kicks off the weekend of our second ART NEWPORT, a juried and curated fine art exhibition with 50 artists from across the country. Designed to put Newport back on the map as a fine arts destination, this event is sure to be a feast for the eyes.

Guests of the Fine Arts Ball will get first looks at the artists' works and have the first chance to acquire any of the works before the show opens to the public for the weekend. Champagne & ART from 5:00 - 7:00p then the ballroom opens for a magical evening.

Patrons to the Fine Arts Ball are wildly encouraged to dress as one of the famous Masters or as one the muses in their work. Dress as Andy Warhol or as Marilyn Monroe, Campbells Soup or Elvis. Dress as Vermeer or as the Girl With The Pearl Earring, or Frida Kahlo celebrating Mexican heritage. The theme is open to interpretation but do your research and start designing.

The objective is to have everyone be a piece of art surrounded by art because Art Is Essential, especially in these times.

Unlike every event in Newport, there will be NO seated dinner, NO paddle raise and NO auction. This is a night of art, live music, food and dancing. There will be plenty of food and drink and ample seating. Your ticket purchase is your contribution to helping the Newport Artists Collective continue its efforts celebrating the vibrant art community in Newport, RI and surrounding areas.

We cannot wait to see what you wear!
