As concern about the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues, the Portland Art Museum and Northwest Film Center (NWFC) are implementing a number of measures to prioritize the health and safety of visitors, staff, and volunteers. These include increased cleaning in high-traffic areas and requiring that staff and volunteers who are sick stay home. The Museum and NWFC provide sick days to all employees and health insurance to all full-time employees.
The Museum’s gallery spaces have more sophisticated air handling, including UV filtration, than other public venues because of environmental controls to protect artwork. There are also multiple restrooms available for hand washing. Theater partners for the Portland International Film Festival are also implementing recommended protocols.
Please know we continue to be vigilant and are monitoring developments related to coronavirus (COVID-19) and will be following the directives of public health agencies, including U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and Oregon Health Authority (OHA). We are planning for any scenario that would disrupt our community’s experience, keeping the health and wellbeing of our visitors, staff and volunteers as our number one priority.
