Book Your VisitVisitor Code of Conduct
The following Visitor Code of Conduct has been implemented to keep staff and visitors as safe as possible and to avoid the spread of COVID-19:
- Visitors should stay home if they are not feeling well and visit us another time. All visitors will be asked to confirm that they have not had any COVID symptoms in the 48 hours prior to arrival.
- Visitors must wear face coverings when entering the building and while in the galleries.
- Visitors must maintain a physical distance of six feet apart at all times (a family or a chummy group may stay together).
- We ask visitors to respect capacity limits for each room within our galleries. These limits will be posted throughout the gallery and updated in accordance with State and CDC recommendations.
Please note:
- The maximum capacity in the galleries and public spaces is 10.
- If guests arrive more than 15 minutes after their scheduled entry time, Bemis Center reserves the right to decline entrance in order to maintain gallery capacity limits and keep all guests safe.
- The first hour of each day will be reserved for those with high-risk conditions and those over 65 years of age.
- Rigorous cleaning protocols in accordance with the CDC and state recommendations are in place. No appointments will be scheduled from 2:30–3 PM to allow for deeper cleaning.
