The 2026 Harvey Ball

About the Event

The Harvey Ball is the Worcester event of the year! The Museum of Worcester is pleased to recognize this year’s Smile Award Recipient Bill Wallace. The Museum of Worcester is proud to honor the legacy of Harvey Ball and this year’s Smile Award Recipient Bill Wallace – a builder of cultural bridges, a convener of community, and a tireless advocate for the power of the humanities to educate, empower, and inspire. For nearly 50 years, Bill served as the Executive Director of the Museum of Worcester. On October 8, the City of Worcester and beyond will gather to honor Bill for the role he has played collecting, preserving, and sharing our Worcester stories for the past half century. The impact of his passion and commitment to Worcester will continue to illuminate the community for years to come!
