This three-day exploration of creativity as a public good at MASS MoCA, is supported in part by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. On Wonder brings together past and current MacArthur Fellows working across the arts, sciences, technology, literature, public policy, economics, mathematics, and the humanities, and invites you to join.

Through thoughtfully curated public conversations, performances, presentations, shared meals, and informal exchange, Fellows explore the motivations, methods, and challenges behind their work while discovering unexpected connections across disciplines.

By giving audiences access to some of today’s most rigorous and imaginative thinkers — and giving Fellows the opportunity to inspire one another — the program generates connection, curiosity, and public optimism.

Tickets go on sale in January 2027, and a full schedule of presenters is forthcoming.
