Over the past four months, COVID-19 has radically changed the art industry’s calendar. Art fairs, auctions, and biennials across the globe have all been cut short, postponed, or rescheduled to new dates due to the global pandemic. As parts of the world begin to reopen from quarantine in phases, or as art-world organizations adapt their plans to make use of digital technologies, we have collected a calendar of upcoming events that we will continue to update as new information and dates are confirmed.
