On Friday, April 10, 2026, GLOWBALL will transform the Armory Performance Hall into an immersive Rave created by DJ WhySham, and visual projectionist Jay Medina, all in support of The Center for Arts at the Armory. GLOWBALL is an “anti-gala”—there will be no speeches, presentations or auction. There will be pop-up performances by Sean Bjerke and RHOUSE Dancers; The House of Nadra, high-octane fashion house, and more TBA.

This year's honorees:

• Ellen Waylonis, Lifetime Achievement Award

• Willie Burnley, Community Arts Advocate

• Wendy Jehlen, Outstanding Artist

GLOWBALL tickets include complimentary international bites and glow in the dark styling and face painting. This will surely be Somerville's most illuminating party of 2026.

As with all GLOWBALL tickets, you will receive a thank you note and receipt stating that 80% of your ticket purchase is a donation to The Center for Arts at the Armory.
