COVID SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
WINTER 2023 UPDATE
In order to protect the health and safety of our community, Kirkland Arts Center requires masking at all times by all, and proof of vaccination for onsite teaching artists, staff, and students over age 12. We will continue these requirements through Winter Quarter 2023. We will communicate immediately should anything change. Continuing our mask requirement at this time is the best way to respect the diversity of our community and our shared goal of safety at a time.
VACCINATION
Kirkland Arts Center requires all onsite staff, instructors, and students over the age of 12 to submit proof of a CDC-approved vaccination protocol. Proof of vaccination can be provided through the following online form or in person on the first day of class:

If you already submitted proof in the past, you do not need to do so again.
In place of vaccination, individuals over age 12 may provide proof of a negative test administered within 24 hours of each class date.
If you have any questions or concerns, please send a message to health@kirklandartscenter.org or call 425-822-7161 (x101).
