Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center Axes All Events and Programs Through First Week of April

From the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center:

To ensure that the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center (WVMCC) remains a safe, secure, and welcoming space for all our visitors, our staff is closely following the recommendations of the Chelan-Douglas Health District and State of Washington’s emergency recommendations regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Due to increasing concerns over large gatherings, and the recommendations of the Chelan-Douglas Health District regarding COVID-19, we are rescheduling or canceling our upcoming events, (including High School Art Awards Show, Environmental Film, Night at the Museum, class field trips, and our spring break camps) scheduled through the first week of April. Beginning April 5, WVMCC will reevaluate potential cancellation of programs moving forward.

The decision to reschedule or cancel our upcoming events and programs was not made lightly. In the end, the health and safety of the community was paramount in our decision. The museum staff and board believes this is the right decision for the safety of our community.

At this time, however, the Chelan-Douglas Health District has not recommended the closure of museums or other public spaces. WVMCC currently remains open to visitors during regular operating hours. Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Because our first priority is the health and well-being of our community, we have instituted sanitization measures throughout the museum facilities, including our exhibits, performance hall, and other high-traffic spaces.

If you have questions about how COVID-19 may affect upcoming programs at the Museum, please call us at (509) 888-6240 or email us at info@wvmcc.org.
