THE BASS BALL: 60th Anniversary
A Celestial Celebration to Commemorate
60 Years of Miami Beach’s Contemporary Art Museum
Presented by
THURSDAY, JANUARY 25, 2024
Join The Bass Board of Directors for a dazzling celebration in homage to the museum’s 60th Anniversary. The evening’s attire theme—Celestial Bodies— draws inspiration from the last total solar eclipse of the 21st century, which will occur this upcoming April; almost exactly 60 years after the founding of The Bass.
Widely known as Miami’s most fashion-forward Black Tie event, The Bass Ball invites its guests to artfully interpret the theme through their attire, thus becoming a part of the extravaganza.
Proceeds from the evening will benefit The Bass’ exhibitions and education programs.
