Gallery @ LPCA
While Essex County Transmisison rates are moderate or above (and/or when there is a state mandate for public places issued by the governor), masks are required while visiting the gallery.
Classes
For Adults: In-person classes are open to students who are fully vaccinated by the date of the class. Proof of vaccination will be required at the door. Masking requirements will match the above policy for performances in accordance with Essex County Transmission rates and/or any state mandates issued by the governor.
For Children: Masking is required at all times. As vaccines become available to a broader range of ages, this policy may shift.
Please Note
Masks should fully cover both your mouth and nose. Face masks made of mesh, crochet (yarn) or lace, bandanas and gaiters do not meet our guidelines. We have a disposable mask for you if you need one. When masking is required, children between the age of 2-12 must wear a mask at all times.
If your temperature is 100 F° or higher or if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 we respectfully request that you do not attend the performance, class or other event. If you are experiencing symptoms, please call us at 518.523.2512 or by email boxoffice@lakeplacidarts.org and we will provide you with a full refund.
And thank you... We know it's a challenge. We don't like these extra guidelines either. But we would feel awful if anyone got sick by attending any of our events. And, if after reading these guidelines, you have changed your mind about attending - just drop us a line. We're happy to refund your ticket purchase.
