Public Visitors

In order to create an artistic and learning environment that is as safe as possible, event and exhibition participants, audiences and others who will be interacting with the CalArts community are asked to be vaccinated before coming on campus.

After entering campus, General Visitors should use the main (Blue Wall) entrance, and check in through the Visitor Check-In system at the lobby.  We ask such visitors to obtain and wear a visitor badge. Masking is appreciated, and masks will be provided upon request.
