Nova Ball is Ars Nova’s biggest fundraising event of the season — a high-octane collision of live performance, immersive spectacle, and all-out revelry. Boundary-pushing artists, New York’s glitterati, and the boldest champions of the arts come together for one unforgettable night as Ars Nova’s renegade spirit takes over to create an electric gala that is utterly unmissable.
This star-studded event took place on Monday, March 9, 2026 at City Winery (Pier 57, 25 11th Ave) in Manhattan.
