Volunteers Needed for ArtBeat 2026

 

Our festival season is in full swing, and we are looking for volunteers for our upcoming events.

 

COMING UP: One of our biggest events, ArtBeat, will be happening in about two weeks.  If you are interested in seeing the behind-the-scenes fun, we have a variety of opportunities. From set-up crews to activity assistants and our iconic dog tag sales team, there’s a role for every vibe and a great chance to connect with the creative community. Sign up as an ArtBeat volunteer here! For more information or questions, reach out to Heather at hbalc...@somervillema.gov.

 

For a sneak peek of this year’s event, there is PDF of the festival schedule. Look forward to hearing from you 😊

ABOUT ARTBEAT 2026

Date/Time: Saturday, July 18th 12-9pm  (RD July 19th)

Theme: REVolution

 Let’s get revved up! In honor of the American Revolution’s 250th anniversary, this year’s ArtBeat theme will be REVolution. Think of it as an artistic prompt. Let’s celebrate the powerful spirit of transformation and explore the spark that challenges the status quo. We encourage our creative community to interpret this theme in myriad ways – perhaps by exploring celestial revolutions of the planets or artistic revolutions that have changed the course of art history. Whether it’s the physical turning of a potter’s wheel, a punk rock revolt, or the rhythmic cycles of nature, REVolution is not just a commemoration of the past, but a spirit that propels us forward.

 The Somerville Arts Council’s annual multicultural arts festival showcases the City’s diverse and vibrant arts communities and attracts ten thousand visitors to Davis Square. Presented by the Somerville Arts Council (SAC) and Mayor Jake Wilson, ArtBeat has reached its 40th year and features an eclectic mix of music, dance, theater, food, performance, and interactive activities.
