Pablo Center at the Confluence announces starting March 12, 2022 the lifting of Covid-19 visitor protocols and the return of regular, in-person gallery and box office hours. The former policy enacted on August 25, 2021 required all patrons, artists, and staff to show proof of negative Covid-19 test within 72 hours or proof of vaccination upon entry.
The decision to ease the visitor requirements comes amid national and local easing in Covid-19 restrictions, including new community, metric-based masking guidance by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and improved local Covid-19 conditions. The positivity rates in Eau Claire City-County have declined steadily, with a 7-day average new total case rate of 25.1 per day and positivity rate of 8.3%. The easing of Pablo Center’s entrance requirement also aligns with building partner University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, who as part of the full University of Wisconsin System is dropping their masking requirements on March 12.
As of March 12, 2022, Pablo Center will return to public gallery and box office hours of Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Guests regardless of vaccination status are strongly encouraged to continue wearing masks.
