As of Monday, February 28/22, visitors to SJAC will no longer be required to show proof of vaccination.
Please note that out of an abundance of caution, SJAC will continue to keep a mandatory mask policy in place for all programs (workshops, galleries, performing arts events, rental events) after the Public Health restrictions are lifted on March 14/22. We will continue to monitor and reassess in the coming months.
