There were 63 quat'z'arts balls between 1892 and 1966. The initial ball, which took place in a room rented for the occasion, was completed by two competitions of workshops, dressing room and parade. Each workshop of the school of fine arts presented, in a lodge built within the school, a living painting according to the chosen theme and then participated in a parade on a tank built by the students.
