The Beaux Arts Krewe is a group founded in 1967 to provide permanent costumes and decorations for the annual Beaux Arts Jewel Ball debutante ball, held each Spring near Mardi Gras in support of the Birmingham Museum of Art.
Balls are held at Boutwell Auditorium. The medieval theme chosen was inspired by Westminster Abbey. Each member of the Krewe enters the ballroom dressed as a king with an arms-emblazoned cape and attended by a page.
