African American Ball


The African American Ball is the African American Forum’s signature event. Attendees are treated to an incomparable presentation of art, culture, entertainment, music, dancing, fashion and fellowship – all in an elegant, formal atmosphere that makes the African American Ball truly unique and memorable.

LEX will host an evening of dancing, networking and celebration of all that is excellent from the African American Experience in Art, Culture and Entertainment.  Lex Do It! The Next Chapter Begins in 2010 is the theme that will permeate the atmosphere all evening long.

Net proceeds benefit the African American Forum Capital Campaign Fund and the Arts Partnership Program. It’s not just a gala, it’s a gala with a purpose!
