tribeca ball
The Tribeca Ball is an annual event hosted by the New York Academy of Art, celebrating emerging artists of the Academy with proceeds supporting scholarships and public programming. The Ball is known for its lively atmosphere, featuring open artist studios, live entertainment, and famous faces. Since 2013, House of Yes and YES ETC have working with the Academy to bring live entertainment and stilt walkers to the event. Year after year, we bring a new concept of costumes and performers based on that year’s honoree and theme brought to life by the wonderful work of Van Cleef. YES ETC is a proud partner with the NYAA and the Tribeca Ball.
