Iowa State University Museums has announced guidelines in response to COVID-19 and a schedule of art programs for the fall 2020 semester. Programs will be a hybrid of in person and virtual. Programs remain free and open to the public.

In-person programs will be limited to 10 people unless otherwise noted, and preregistration is required. Masks are required for all attendees, as required by Iowa State University’s policy, and seats will be placed six feet apart. Hand sanitizer will be provided at each museum’s entrance. Online registration for fall programs will open at 10 a.m. Aug. 3. For those unable to attend, some programs will be recorded and will be available to view at a later date. 

Virtual programs will be posted to the University Museum’s YouTube page on the afternoon of their scheduled date, while some will also be streamed live from University Museum’s Facebook page.
