A lot of big new art shows await you in the coming year.
They will kick off with a bang at the end of January when the University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty art show opens Jan. 26 at the Chazen Museum of Art and continue with a new show of prints by Pop icon Jasper Johns, opening Feb. 8 at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art.
Another event worth noting is this weekend’s opening of “Paradise Lost? Climate Change in the Northwoods.”
The show, which is on tour around the state, features the work of 20 area artists commissioned to explore the specter of global warming in the Great Lakes region. Interspersed among the art, visitors will encounter a fair share of science, too.
