In response to the rising number of COVID-19 cases nationally, the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts (WICA) is continuing its work to ensure the health and safety of all patrons, volunteers, and staff at our Langley facility. In accordance with state mandates, proof of vaccination or negative tests and masks are not required at WICA. These policies may be modified based on updated state and county health department guidelines.

We do ask that individuals who feel ill or who are showing symptoms known to be associated with COVID-19 or other infectious diseases do not attend in-person events. Please alert us if you have tested positive within a week after attending a WICA event so that we may notify other participants of a potential exposure. WICA will keep the identity of the person testing positive confidential.

WICA continues to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state, and county guidelines related to COVID-19. Although masks are not required, they are available onsite for anyone who would like one. Hand sanitizer stations are also in place in the lobby and restroom areas for easy use by visitors. WICA’s Health and Safety manual follows all COVID-19 cleaning procedures recommended by state and national agencies—adhering to federal safety standards—and WICA’s state-of-the-art HVAC system provides cleaner, safer air throughout the building. To learn more about this HVAC system, please watch the following video:

As always, the health and safety of our community is our highest priority. These policies may be modified to address any changes to national, state, and county guidelines. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the WICA team at info@wicaonline.org.
