GLOWBALL is an anti-gala: there will be no speeches, formal presentations or auction. There will be pop-up performances by SambaViva and Sidy Maiga on djembe. We’re thrilled to announce this year’s honorees: Rachel Strutt, Lifetime Achievement Award; Clay Fernald, and Community Arts Advocate: and Nelson Salazar, Outstanding Artist. Tickets include complimentary international bites, and glow in the dark accessories and face painting by Arty Mari.

We are counting on our community to come out for what promises to be Somerville’s most illuminating party of the year in support of advancing our mission to provide an inclusive and accessible venue that creates opportunities for artists and cultural workers, brings diverse audiences together, enriches and transforms lives, and promotes the creative economy.
