COVID 19 Policy -
As we return to in person programs we are conscious of maintaining safety measures for the health and safety of our community. This includes:
- Reduced class sizes to allow for social distancing;
- Masks to be worn inside;
- Increased cleaning before and after each workshopping session;
- Hand sanitizer and masks available to everyone;
- Online learning opportunities continue to be available;
- 'Happy Hour' access to the SAW space for community-members who don't feel safe sharing the space.
We encourage all of our staff, students and community to access the vaccine if possible.
We're a tiny(!) non-profit arts organization built on mutual respect. If anyone is experiencing symptoms we ask that they notify the school immediately and stay home until they've received a negative test to help protect our other students, staff and artist community we share the building with.
This workshop is subject to cancellation depending on recommendations from the CDC.
