Portland, OR. Portland performing arts organizations have united to form a vaccine coalition for indoor performances. The move is aimed at enabling the return to live performances. The Portland Performing Arts Vaccine Coalition is establishing protocols to, “prioritize the health and safety of audience members, artists, staff, volunteers, and the community at large.” Members of the admissions staff at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, seen above, are receiving training for reopening.
It’s the first time in seventeen months many members of the admissions staff at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall have been together.
Event attendees will be asked to present proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before attending a performance.
The protocols below are in place to prioritize the health and safety of audience members, artists, staff, volunteers, and the community at large.
Vaccination and/or a Negative COVID-19 Test will be Required for All Attendees:
- Again, event attendees will be asked to present proof of being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before attending a performance.
- For those not vaccinated, most organizations will also accept the results of a recent negative COVID-19 test.
- Each organization will have its own procedures for communicating and upholding these protocols and sharing any other safety guidelines in place.
- These protocols will change as things continue to shift. For the most up-to-date information, it’s best to check an organization’s website closer to your performance.
