The Beaux Arts Society was born from the need to sustain the Oklahoma Art Center, known today as the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Although prominent families and art enthusiasts made possible the purchase of art and provided funds to attract traveling artists, there was no means to maintain the facility itself.

That all changed in 1945 when Eleanor Kirkpatrick suggested an annual costume ball to raise much-needed funds and create broad publicity for the Oklahoma Art Center. Aware of the brilliantly staged Beaux Arts Balls that began in France in the 17th Century and were presided over by Kings and Queens, Kirkpatrick said, “Beaux Arts Balls are about tradition and families and supporting the quality of life in our community.”

Held at Oklahoma City’s Municipal Auditorium, Kirkpatrick served as chairman of the first Beaux Arts Ball in 1946. Tickets were $3.75 each and for .50 cents a spectator could watch the ball from the balcony. An international theme was adopted and Mrs. John A Brown donated the decorations. Oklahoma colleges and universities were invited to send one female art student to serve as an attendant and compete for the title of Queen. The court was made up of senior girls from Oklahoma City high schools and boyfriends or classmates served as escorts. The young women wore a variety of evening gowns and their escorts wore suits or military uniforms. Mayor Robert A. Hefner was named King and Rosalee Deardorff of Tulsa, an art student at Oklahoma A & M College, was named Queen. The first ball cleared $2,480 to fund the construction of a new gallery at the Oklahoma Art Center.

In 1947 the ball was moved to the Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club where the majority of balls have been hosted since. Themes have ranged from “Louisiana Purchase” and “Arabian Nights” to “One Enchanted Evening” and “Command Performance”. Committee members, Kings, Queens, and courts throughout the years have included Oklahoma’s community leaders and those with a commitment to philanthropy. And, every ball has supported the arts.

Seventy-five years later, the Beaux Arts Society and the Beaux Arts Ball continue to honor “tradition,” “family,” and “supporting the quality of life in our community.” With world-renowned artists and a vast array of mediums, including Dale Chihuly’s 55-foot Eleanor Blake Kirkpatrick Memorial Tower glass sculpture, the Beaux Arts Collection at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art is one of the most admired in the country.

Have these connected to OFC 0 gauge wire running nearly 10K watts they handle it perfect!
It’s been months since I bought these and I run one coming off my main battery and then another on my auxiliary battery. I’ve got a huge alternator and running nearly 10K on my set up before I even started to think about what Speakers size or anything like that I made sure that the power and wiring is gonna be top notch. I see almost no voltage drops have not had a problem with these whatsoever.

Good quality, good price.
Review of RECOIL ZAFH2-200 2 Pack in-line ANL Fuse-Holders I recently purchased the RECOIL ZAFH2-200 2 Pack in-line ANL Fuse-Holders, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and performance for such an affordable price. At just $12 for two holders, it’s hard to argue against their value. First off, the build quality is commendable. The materials used feel robust and sturdy, which gives me confidence that they will withstand the demands of my automotive and audio setup. The versatility of being able to accommodate 0, 2, and 4 gauge inputs and outputs, enhanced with reducers, makes these fuse holders suitable for a variety of installations. Installation was straightforward, and the holders fit snugly with no issues. The included 200A ANL fuses are a definite bonus, offering adequate protection for my system. Knowing that I have two holders on hand allows me to set up multiple devices or systems without needing to rush back to the store for more. What impressed me most, however, is the performance. I’ve tested these fuse holders with a range of power demands, and they have held up beautifully, showing no signs of overheating or performance loss. The current flow remains consistent, and I appreciate the peace of mind that comes with reliable fuse protection. After positive experiences with my first purchase, I’ve already taken the liberty to buy more of these holders. I highly recommend the RECOIL ZAFH2-200 for anyone looking for budget-friendly yet reliable fuse-holding solutions. They offer excellent value for money, and you can’t beat the convenience of having a dual pack. Overall, if you’re in the market for ANL fuse holders, give these a try—you won’t be disappointed!
