Get ready to immerse yourself in a vibrant celebration of art and creativity at ArtBeat 2025, one of the largest festivals of the season! This year's ArtBeat theme is “FREEZE.”

At this year‘s festival, we will explore the word “freeze” in the many ways this word can be interpreted. Literally, “freeze” applies to the temperature — and we love the idea of convincing ourselves it is frigid on what is usually the hottest day of the year!

Think igloos, snowflakes, sleet, and parkas. Yet beyond icy cold weather, freeze also connotes freezing time, freezing motion, and freeze frames. Also, in this rushed world, what happens when we freeze, pause, and slow down? What happens when we get glacial?

We look forward to your creative interpretations of this chilled out theme!

Presented by the Somerville Arts Council (SAC) and Mayor Katjana Ballantyne, ArtBeat has reached its 37th year and features an eclectic mix of music, dance, theater, food, performance, and interactive activities.
