FAYETTEVILLE -- People attending shows or exhibitions at the Walton Arts Center and TheatreSquared will no longer need to provide proof of vaccination against covid-19 or a negative test, but must continue to wear masks.
The Walton Art Center's policy change will go into effect Monday. TheatreSquared's requirement to provide proof of vaccination or a negative test ended Sunday.
A news release from the Walton Arts Center said the updated policy is a response to a downward trend in new covid-19 cases in the region along with an increasing percentage of the population being vaccinated against the disease. The policy could change depending on public health guidelines or laws.
Fayetteville has a mask mandate for indoor public spaces. The City Council last month voted to extend the mandate until the city's Board of Health recommends lifting or loosening it, or if a court decision renders the mandate unenforceable.
