Baltimore Museum of Art Announces Sold-Out BMA Ball

The 2026 BMA Ball and After Party will transform the museum into the center of the art world on Saturday, November 14, as distinguished artists, collectors, philanthropists, and cultural leaders gather for an extraordinary evening celebrating creativity, community, and cultural impact.

This year the Baltimore Museum of Art’s premier fundraising event will honor four internationally acclaimed artists and thought leaders; unveil the new Anne and Ben Cone Galleries, the museum’s first new gallery space in more than a decade; and showcase two must-see exhibitions: Flashback: Two Centuries of Baltimore Photography and Jerrell Gibbs: Come home with me, highlighting the remarkable talent of artists in Baltimore. The BMA Ball is sold-out, but tickets are available for the After Party beginning today.

“The BMA is a catalyst for artistic vision, championing artists and leaders whose work transcends borders and transforms culture. Building on Baltimore’s rich creative legacy, we are cultivating the voices, ideas, and movements that will define the future of contemporary art around the world,” said Asma Naeem, the BMA’s Dorothy Wagner Wallis Director. “This vision is only possible with the generous support of our community. The overwhelming response to this year’s BMA Ball reflects a shared belief in the power of art to inspire new ways of thinking, foster connection, and enrich our collective future. We are profoundly grateful to everyone who helps make this work possible.”
