Beaux Arts is a volunteer organization built on traditions that encourages an understanding and appreciation of the arts in South Florida though outreach programs and support of the Lowe Art Museum.
1952
Beaux Arts was started by 50 founding members to provide assistance to the Lowe Gallery of the University of Miami, renamed the Lowe Art Museum in 1968.
1952
Originally called the “Clothesline Sale,” the Beaux Arts Festival of Art gave young artists a chance to meet the buying public. The Festival of Art became an annual juried show with over 200 participating artists. Held on the grounds of the University of Miami and featuring international artists, the annual juried Beaux Arts Festival of Art is recognized as one of the leading art shows in the country.
1953
The Beaux Arts Ball was instituted as a major fundraising event and holds the distinction of being the oldest costume ball in South Florida.
1953
The Children’s Pavilion at the Lowe Art Museum was built to encourage children, ages 5-12, to explore their own creativity.
1965
Since Beaux Arts launched the Virgil Baker American Art Collection for the Lowe Art Museum they have purchased and donated over 50 pieces of art to the museum.
1987
“Hands On! - A Children’s Celebration in Art” that brings underserved children from all over the Miami-Dade County to the museum for a day of fun and learning.
2014
Beaux Arts made a $1.5 million contribution to the University of Miami to enable the creation of the Beaux Arts Director’s Endowment fund.
2018
Since its inception, Beaux Arts has donated over $7 million to the Lowe Art Museum, which places the organization in the highest donor category of The Gables Society at the University of Miami.
