Public Health
- SPACE recommends that attendees to SPACE events or the gallery wear protective face masks indoors based on regional COVID rates and state and national CDC guidance. Our organization reserves the right to change this policy if new public health concerns emerge. Please note that some events will require full audience masking at the artist’s request, please check the individual event listing on our website on each event page. Masks will be made available for all events that require it, but we encourage audience members to help keep our ecological footprint down by bringing, cleaning, and reusing their own masks.
- Audience members, artists, and staff who may have been exposed to COVID-19 or are recovering from the virus should wear masks and observe the appropriate isolation period with testing, per the latest CDC guidance. If you are feeling sick, please kindly stay home.
- We love animals but please note that only registered service animals are allowed at our events to comply with health code.
