Ashtabula Arts Center Revised Mask Policy

Ashtabula Arts Center Revised Mask Policy, effective June 2, 2021

In order to protect the many children & other vulnerable patrons in our building, the Ashtabula Arts Center will, at this time, continue to require that visitors wear face masks while indoors, or when seated in Straw Hat Theatre. However, anyone who wishes may show their COVID vaccine record at the front desk, or to a Straw Hat usher at a performance, and may go without a mask in our building and in Straw Hat Theater.  We will still require masks to be worn behind the front desk.  We have come to this decision based on the guidance of the Ashtabula County Health Department, and with consideration to our organizational values. We thank our patrons and visitors for their understanding and support.
