This is Art Sense - a podcast focused on educating and informing listeners about the past, present and future of art. I’m Craig Gould.

This week on the podcast I thought we could take a look at the shows that are on the horizon for 2022. The list includes historical retrospectives, contemporary gallery shows, biennales and even a hotly anticipated museum opening. 26 exhibits in all, we’ll start with those shows that have already opened and work our way out.
