BEAUX ARTS BALL
Beaux Arts Ball debutantes, escorts and committee members met June 25th at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art for a party.
Since it was so hot on the roof terrace at 6 p.m., the chairmen moved the first part of the event indoors. Committee chairmen presented a check to the Museum for the Acquisition Fund.
The group then toured the new exhibit “Turner to Cezanne:Masterpieces from the Davies Collection, National Museum Wales.” Then they headed for the rooftop where live music was playing and the temperatures were cooling down.
