The Beaux Arts Krewe returned to Boutwell Auditorium on Feb. 5 to celebrate the Mardi Gras season and support the Birmingham Museum of Art.

Dr. Thomas Gilbert Amason, Jr. served as the 2016 Krewe Ball King and was accompanied by 2016 Krewe Queen Carolyn Davis McCalley.

This year’s ball included an Aladdin theme, and presented four Ladies in Waiting and 25 princesses to the community.
