COVID-19 POLICY
In an effort to enact robust health and safety protocols for the protection of event guests and our staff, Federation has decided to adopt the #SafeArtsSarasota protocols that were developed by nearly three dozen local performing and visual arts organizations in our community. These protocols will be in place for all upcoming in-person, indoor Federation programs.
- All patrons age 12 or older coming to an indoor performance must present either a negative PCR COVID-19 test administered by a medical provider/official testing center no early than 72 hours before the time of their performance OR a negative rapid antigen COVID-19 test administered by a medical provider/official testing center no earlier than 24 hours prior to the time of their performance. Home testing kits are not acceptable.
- Testing documents can be presented physically or electronically. Photo IDs also are required.
- If patrons prefer, an official vaccination record showing that patrons are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (at least 14 days since the final dose) may be voluntarily presented at the door as an acceptable alternative.
- All patrons age 6 or older, regardless of vaccination or testing status, must wear masks over their nose and mouth at all times while inside.
These protocols may be updated as needed based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
