The Rocky Neck Art Colony will hold its third annual Beaux Arts Ball Halloween Bash on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 51 Rocky Neck Restaurant, 51 Rocky Neck Ave., in Gloucester.

New this year is an online silent auction of 12 one-of-a-kind experiences put together for the ball. The colony says the auction will open online so people can bid whether or not they attend.
