WHIDBEY ISLAND CENTER FOR THE ARTS
RESUMES IN-PERSON EVENTS
Langley, WA (Mar. 8, 2021) - Whidbey Island Center for the Arts (WICA) resumes in-person events in its redesigned performance and community spaces.
"During the past twelve months, we have remained committed to producing, presenting, and supporting artistic endeavors and cultural events," says WICA Executive Director Verna Everitt. "Following the March 2020 announcement that venues had to close, we began producing and curating online experiences for our community designed to keep us connected and engaged in the arts. We also implemented rigid cleaning protocols, redesigned our theater to allow for physical distancing, and installed a new HVAC system. We're now able to welcome artists and audiences back to our stage and the most important message I want to share with our community is 'we're ready when you are'."
