The New Art Dealers Alliance held its inaugural NADA Artist Ball this past Sunday, October 31st at Eventi Hotel in Chelsea. The event naturally followed a Halloween theme, with inventive costume ideas abounding among the crowd of creative guests. According to NADA’s website, the gala was put on to “celebrate the artists that make our industry possible.” Proceeds from the event, which also featured a selection of live music and performances, benefit the organization’s growing public and educational programs. Patrick Meagher attended the festivities and captured some highlights on film for Art Observed; a full on-site photo collection follows the jump.
