We are definitely living in interesting times. Our number one priority is and has always been the safety of our young artists. This summer we will be compliant with CDC guidelines and use lessons we have learned from the 2020-2021 school year. The situation is always changing and we cannot predict what the summer will bring. However, we can be prepared for what we know now.

We are looking forward to another extraordinary summer at CDCA – we hope you will join us!

CDC Safety Protocol:

MASKS: Every senior staff, intern, young artist and administrators will be required to wear masks throughout the day. There will be regular, outdoor, mask breaks for our young artists.

HANDWASHING: We will emphasize regular handwashing throughout the day. There will be multiple outdoor sinks in the courtyard.

HANDS FREE HAND SANITIZING STATIONS will be utilized on campus.

FREQUENTLY WASH SURFACES AND MATERIALS: Surfaces will be wiped down between classes and art materials will be kept separate when appropriate.

CDCA 2021 changes:

New Hours: Monday-Friday 8:30-3:00 pm. There will no longer be an early dismissal on Fridays.

Before Care will not be offered this year.

After Care will be offered from 3:00-5:30 every day. In order to maintain required safety protocols, we will not be allowing After care drop-ins.  Pre-registration is required.

No guests will be allowed for summer 2021.

Festival will be on the last day of the program, July 16^th. It will be during the day for young artists only.

I believe art is a human need and that it is important to teach our children well especially during difficult times.

Looking forward,

Susan Gisleson
