Miami Beach, FL – January 26, 2023 – The Bass Museum of Art hosted art lovers, philanthropists and tastemakers at Miami Beach’s most fashion-forward annual gala, The Bass Ball, honoring Ambassador Paul L. and Mrs. Trudy Cejas. All proceeds from The Bass Ball benefit The Bass’ Creativity in the Community education and outreach programs. This year, more than $300,000 was raised to provide kids and families with meaningful access to inspiring contemporary art. The theme–Abstract Expressionism: Beyond the Brushstroke– celebrated the art movement that radically redefined the art world and marked the rise of New York City as a global arts center. The event honored art collectors Ambassador Paul L. and Mrs. Trudy Cejas, in recognition for their longtime support of The Bass and their extensive public and community service to museums and institutions of higher education. The successful event comes on the heels of The Bass receiving a $20 million allocation from the $159 million Miami Beach Cultural Arts G.O. (General Obligation) Bond measure passed in November 2022.

The Bass Ball 2023 was sponsored by Graff, with additional support provided by Dry Farm Wines, Uovo, Maestro Dobel Tequila and Alto.
