By attending, you agree that the below waiver is applicable to your attendance. Local health and safety guidelines are changing frequently and Sparks Gallery will adhere to the most current policy at the time of the event.

Please be advised that the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.

Transmission is most likely when people are in close contact or in a poorly ventilated area with an infected person. Transmission can occur when the infected person has symptoms, is without symptoms, or has not yet developed symptoms. Virus particles can travel more than six feet in indoor spaces and remain suspended in air even after an infected person has left the room.

The Health and Safety of our Patrons and Staff are our top priority.  As such, during this unprecedented time due to the COVID-19 Global Pandemic, specific protocols have been implemented and will be strictly followed to help reduce the risk of the spread of the disease.  Please be advised before attending that the following expectations will be in place:

1.)    State mandates for mask wearing may be in effect during this event. Gallery staff may advise guests to follow certain protocols, as they may change between your RSVP and the event date.

2.)    Sparks Gallery will be following additional protocols as mandated by the state.
