The CAC – one of the original members of the #SafeArtsSarasota initiative – has continued stringent COVID-19 mitigation protocols to keep patrons, artists, students, staff and volunteers safe. Some of the protocols include required masking, proof of a negative COVID-19 test (or proof of vaccination, if patron prefers), temperature checks, reduced available seating to enable social distancing, enhanced cleaning and disinfecting of the facilities (including fogging after each performance), pre-packaged concession stand items, ongoing COVID-19 testing for staff and artists, and more.
