ARVADA CENTER RESPONSE TO COVID-19

In order to keep our visitors, staff, and community safe and healthy, the Arvada Center asks all visitors to the Center to wear a mask or face covering. This includes visitors to our indoor and outdoor spaces, classrooms and galleries. We also ask that all visitors to the Center's building perform a temperature check before they enter. 

As of July 14, the Jefferson County Public Health Department has issued a public health order requiring masks or facial coverings to be worn in public. The Arvada Center is following their guidance, and operating in accordance with guidelines established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment (CDPHE), and the City of Arvada. We ask that you observe all signage and instruction provided at the Center and we reserve the right to ask anyone not following safety measures to leave the premises.

Thank you to our sponsor SCL Health/Lutheran Medical Center. Visit their website for resources on health, safety and risk assessment.

The Arvada Center Galleries hold the health and safety of our visitors, staff, and artists as the highest priority. To allow for recommended distancing and to monitor the number of people in our galleries, we are using a reservation system for our winter exhibition Black in Denver.

All visitors are encouraged to reserve a free ticket for a one-hour time slot before you come to the Arvada Center. Be sure to wear a mask or cloth face covering before you enter. As you enter the building, you will use a self-service kiosk to check your temperature.

THEATRE CANCELLATIONS AND POSTPONEMENTS

• All theatre performances in the remainder of our 2020 season have been cancelled, as has our 2020 Summer Concert Series. Our upcoming theatre season is now slated to begin in February of 2021.

FOR TICKETHOLDERS OF CANCELLED PERFORMANCES

If you purchased tickets to a performance or concert that was cancelled, you should have received direct communication regarding your ticket options. If you have questions, please visit the webpage below to see frequently asked questions about exchanges and refunds. You can also contact our Box Office with questions. 

Ticketing FAQ Page

As the Arvada Center is a non-profit institution relying on both ticket sales and contributed revenue, we ask you to consider donating the cost of your ticket.  While cancelling performances is necessary for the health of all of our patrons, staff, artists, and volunteers, it will be a loss for the institution, making donations even more important.  If you choose to donate your ticket as a tax-deductible donation you will help sustain our revenue during this time, allowing us to inspire and impact people through the arts and humanities well into the future.
