Plan Your Visit Covid-19 Update
The COVID pandemic continues to present new and significant challenges to this work, as variants present new threats to the health and safety of all whom CCA strives to serve. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the CCA Board has committed to making operational and policy decisions that provide, at minimum, compliance with all current CDC, Oregon Health Authority, and Hood River County Health Department Guidelines.
VACCINATION REQUIREMENT
All guests who attend events or gatherings at CCA must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 by the date of their visit. Patrons can show either paper or electronic documentation (including a photo of your vaccination card), along with a photo ID.
Theatre patrons and workshop and class participants over the age of 12 must be able to show proof that they are fully vaccinated at the time of their entry into the theater or studio until further notice. When these protocols change, this page will be updated as needed.
“Fully vaccinated” means that at least 14 days have passed since receiving the second dose of a two-dose vaccine series or 14 days after receiving a single-dose vaccine.
CCA will accept ANY ONE of the following methods for proving vaccination, along with a photo ID:
- Physical vaccination card
- Photo of vaccination card
- Other official documentation clearly displaying your name and the date(s) on which vaccine doses were administered, such as a visit summary provided by the organization administering the vaccine.
If you are unable to provide vaccine proof, we will gladly work with you to reschedule your visit or refund the cost of your ticket.
If you have any questions or concerns about complying with these new rules, please contact us via email to director@columbiaarts.org
