Join us as we emerge from Covid to provide you another ArtBeat festival/event.   As you may have noticed our festival this year is forever evolving.  During our emergency Covid restrictions, we had planned small events-- to pop up and engage you.

Now, as our safety guidelines have been lifted, we are planning a more traditional ArtBeat event but with some changes.  While there will be street closures, like in the past, we will have less traditional craft vendors on the streets; instead more roaming performers.   

Our main stage in 7 hills park, will include dance in the a.m. shifting to music in the afternoon and evening. Our music lineup this year is curated in partnership with ONCE Somerville

Stay tuned to this page as we roll out the programming.   And thank you for supporting the local arts community, and supporting the Council, during this epoch time.  We hope and expect to provide Pop to your life.  

Our theme:  

It’s been a long, rough year, yet things are getting better and we’re all emerging from hibernation. By summer, we expect things to pop—artistic activity, street life, and optimism! We’re looking forward to business bustle, backyard barbecues, and popping in to visit friends and neighbors. Let’s celebrate all good things popping up—ideas, cultural trends, celebrations, flowers and new life. At this year’s ArtBeat Festival, expect pop-up performances, pop music (among other genres!), some eye-popping dance, a healthy dose of pop art, and just about anything else that might pop up.
