We know that many people are ready to visit the Museum and we want to ensure your safety while also providing you the incomparable experience of viewing art in person!
COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that spreads via person-to-person contact and through airborne transmission. The Dorsky is taking actions to mitigate transmission, and we ask you, our visitors, to help us reduce the spread of COVID-19. Visitors must follow all posted instructions while visiting the Museum, including wearing face coverings and social distancing.
Your Safety and the Safety of Our Staff is our Priority
As the Dorsky reopens, safety comes first.
We’re putting new safety measures in place to protect the health of our visitors, staff, students, and volunteers based on guidance from the CDC, SUNY New Paltz, and state and local governments:
Tours & Programs
All on-site public tours and programs are currently suspended.
We will offer virtual programs and experiences. Please check our Events page for specific dates and details.
If You’re Sick, Stay Home
We’re asking all visitors who are sick or feel unwell to please stay home.
Face Coverings
Visitors are not required to wear a face covering during their visit.
Social Distancing
Please maintain a distance of six feet or more between households or groups at all times. Galleries will have a maximum capacity based on size, calculated using guidance from the CDC.
Hygiene
Please sanitize your hands upon entry. Hand-sanitizing stations will be available in each wing of our facilities.
Personal Belongings
We encourage you to limit the number of personal belongings and bags you bring to the Museum. We will not be offering coat or bag storage.
Please note:
We reserve the right to modify our hours of operation, capacity, or visitor guidelines as circumstances require. We will deny entry to any person who fails to follow these guidelines or whose conduct puts Dorsky staff, visitors, or property at risk.
Despite safety measures, the risk of contracting COVID-19 could increase by visiting The Dorsky. By visiting The Dorsky, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
