All the Live Art I Witnessed in 2020

What is live art in an age when we cannot convene in person? Well, in 2020, that “live setting” rule I once made for myself got a little blurred. So, for the first time, I am including virtual events, which I do not plan to repeat in the future (if the world allows for it). Also for the first time, I am noting events that I was going to attend, but was not able to for, you know, reasons.

This list is organized in chronological order, and categorized thusly (noting that some of these categories failed to register in this pandemic year):
