Updated Mask Policy
As you know, FAVA recently reopened our galleries and has started scheduling summer camps and classes. In order to ensure the safety of all of FAVA’s participants (and make sure we can stay open!), we need your help.
Due to the unfolding situation with the Delta variant of Covid-19 and the updated CDC guidance for mask usage, FAVA will require masks for all visitors to FAVA’s galleries as well as class participants and teachers regardless of vaccination status. We also ask that visitors and participants maintain six feet of distance.
These changes take effect immediately due to Lorain County’s upgrade to “substantial transmission” on Covid-19 tracking maps. FAVA will continue to monitor the situation and update our policies as appropriate.
To see further information about Covid-19 spread in Lorain County, please visit the CDC’s county map here: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view
For the latest on CDC guidelines, please visit their website here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
Thank you for your cooperation, and for all of your support of FAVA during this time. We look forward to a safe and healthy season for all.
