We proudly celebrate the 10th annual Wonderball, a decade of championing creativity and wonder in Columbus. This year, we invite you to wear your most imaginative black and white outfit along with a touch of metallic splendor, whether it’s silver, gold, sparkles, glitter, or any other shimmering choice!
Experiences planned for 2024 will showcase a selection of creative experiences through the years ranging from dance, performance art, participatory experiences, and fashion to local music standouts.
By purchasing a ticket, you not only gain entry to “Columbus’ party of the year” but also contribute to the Museum’s mission of nurturing creativity and fostering lifelong learning.

As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Wonderball, we will be jurying from artists who have participated in the past as a special way to honor the incredible talent that has contributed to Wonderball’s journey. Please note that this is a one-time change. We will resume our public Call for Artist process next year.

Since the first Wonderball in 2015, more than 10,000 people have attended this annual event, raising over $1,200,000 in support of the Museum’s efforts to nurture creativity and foster lifelong learning. One of the most anticipated nights of the year, this unique event is supported by many generous sponsors and an army of talented volunteers who believe the arts are the heart and soul of the community. As always, your Wonderball sponsorship is vitally important, helping the Museum fulfill its mission to create great experiences with great art for everyone.
Special V-VIP Sponsor Experience

Beginning at 7:00 PM, an hour before the main show starts and crowds arrive, you will be invited to a very special experience in the Schottenstein Pavilion with a celebrity guest to dazzle and delight, along with culinary treats and curated cocktails. This fabulous V-VIP experience is exclusively for Wonder, Creativity, and Curiosity sponsors and their guests! More details will be shared closer to the event (our version of price upon request!). The Sponsor party will continue back in Schokko Lounge after 8:00 PM.
