Preview the Glowing Designs From MAD's Fluorescent Ball Fundraiser

NEW YORK—On Monday night the Museum of Arts and Designwill be holding its annual young patrons' gala, themed this year as the Rare Earths Florescent Ball, with all proceeds going toward the institution's children's education programs. The goal is to raise $245,000, and to this end the swanky consortium of co-chairs — including model Tyson Beckford and actor/jeweler Waris Ahluwalia — has gathered a slew of original design pieces by a range of downtown figures, from onetime Misshape Leigh Lezarkto onetime Fischerspooner frontman Casey Spooner. These works will be on view at the museum in an installation organized by art advisor Heather Flow and available for purchase.

Tapp Francke's "Peace," 2010, will be sold as part of the Museum of Arts and Design's benefit.
