COLUMBUS MUSEUM OF ART WONDERBALL 2021

The Columbus Museum of Art hosted its 7th annual Wonderball on January 30th, 2021. For the first time in its history, the event was held virtually with no cost of admission in celebration of Columbus’ creative spirit. Since its 2015 beginning, the fundraiser has welcomed more than 8,000 guests and generated nearly $1,000,000 in support of the museum. Attendees were treated to an awe-inspiring evening of black & white fashion, performances, music, art, interactive experiences, and much more.
Performances included pole ballet by Amelia Gandara and Micaela Gonzalez, fashion by Keäma Official, movement and music collaborative work by Shades of Color, community-built poem performed by Cynthia Amoah, talk show with Hakim Callwood, and secrets of synth with DJ Moxy Martinez. Premiered this year was the museum’s Wonder Experience, a chance to be inspired, challenged, and surprised each month until the in-person 2022 Wonderball. 2021 Event Chairs included Lee Lochtefeld, Christina Basham, Raymond Weaver, and Ann Mulvany who led a 50-member volunteer planning committee to organize this year’s Wonderball experience.
