Thank you for being part of Wonderball 2022! Returning in person after more than two years, this celebration of creativity featured a wide range of artistic experiences and collaborative performances including live music, dance, visual art, poetry, calligraphy, video and fashion. Trying to remember the name of an artist that inspired you? Check out the evening program to jog your memory. We also have a huge Wonderball photo gallery to check out.
Wonderball raised more than $225,000 to support the Museum’s efforts to provide inspired and creative programs for the community all year long. Programs like Teen Open Studio, Wonder School, and Summer Art Workshops foster play, imagination, and curiosity to encourage us all to think like an artist.
Zero Waste Event Productions partnered with us again to keep Wonderball clean and comfortable and manage all material generated at the event with an emphasis on diverting waste through reuse, recycling and composting. We achieved our ultimate goal of ‘Zero Waste’ status, considered a diversion rate of 90% or greater from the landfill, by diverting 905 lbs of waste. Thank you!
