Beaux Arts ‘Wizard of Oz’ costume ball to benefit Lowe Art Museum

Lions and tigers and bears?

Most likely.

Beaux Arts a charitable organization supporting the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami, will host an Emerald City-themed costume ball Oct. 27 at the Four Seasons Hotel on Brickell Avenue.

Emerald City Ball celebrates 61 years of the organization and its support for the Lowe.

Master of ceremony for The Land of Oz event will be philanthropist Stephanie Sayfie-Aagaard, who writes a weekly social column, “Steph Sez,” for the Herald.

The evening events will include a silent auction, raffle, sit-down dinner, dancing, and a costume and skit competition.

New this year’s event will feature BidPal, a wireless bidding, donation, and payment tool similar in size and appearance as an iPhone. The device will let guests buy raffle tickets and stay on top of their bids without having to remain in the auction area.

The device also enables guests to donate money directly to Beaux Arts signature outreach programs, including Hands on, which funds school field trips to the Lowe.

The ball is at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 27 at Four Seasons Hotel Miami, 1435 Brickell Ave.

Cost is $250 per person; Call Tracy Lorenzo at 786-367-1870, or email beauxartsinfo@beauxartsmiami.org
