As this calendar goes to press, the Omicron variant of Covid-19 is on the ascent. Events may be cancelled or changed, and safety procedures may vary between venues. Attendees are recommended to confirm before attending events. Though The Winter Show has postponed its physical show in January, many of the talks will go forward via Zoom. The Outsider Art Fair has moved its show back one month to March 3-6. We will update this list with any virtual or satellite events that may occur as we are notified.
