January 2022 Arts Calendar

In 2022, arts organizations are ready and raring to go, with incredible lineups of concerts, symphonies, dance performances, art exhibitions, musicals, plays and more. 

Heading into the new year, we have art from around the world, theater classics, and a smorgasbord of music.
