In the midst of holiday shopping fervor, I'm reserving a healthy dose of my attention and effort to a somewhat selfish task: finding a 2022 calendar. This is not a job that should be taken lightly. After all, a wall calendar is a piece of decorative art that you look at all year. If you don't find one you like before New Year's Day, well, your options are gonna dry up pretty quickly. Sure, you can find plenty of calendars in January, but any real calendar head knows that all the best calendars—I'm talking the small-batch-risograph, independent-artist-made, envy-inspiring ones—sell out in December. Feel that pressure? That's what I feel every year.
But even I, a shameless calendar enthusiast, have sometimes turned up empty-handed on January 1. Those years I look out for a cool vintage calendar. Yes, you can actually reuse old calendars from years that begin on the same day of the week. In 2022 those years include 2011, 2005, 1994, 1983, 1977, 1966, and 1955.
Below are some cool 2022 calendars, both new and old, that I've sniffed out across the internet. Just remember, calendar buying is a blood sport, so act fast. Good luck!
Vintage calendars
For whatever reason, dolls were a frequent subject of calendar art in the ‘80s and ’90s. Both of these are quite bizarre, but will make for an…unforgettable 2022.
