OFFICIAL COVID POLICY UPDATE

For all FAI events in 2023, including Alchemy, proof of vaccination against Covid 19 and/or negative test results will not be required.

We strongly encourage participants to practice the principle of Civic Responsibility by taking the following precautions:

Get vaccinated against Covid-19. Keep up with your boosters
Take a COVID test before you come, even if you don’t feel sick
If you feel sick, think you might be sick, have symptoms or test positive for Covid then STAY HOME. If you are unable to attend because you are sick we will allow you to roll your ticket over to 2024 or we can refund the ticket cost for you (minus the required Art Grant donation).

We recognize that this is a departure from our previous policy and that some participants will be disappointed with the decision. Please know that the safety of our participants is always our #1 priority. Our Event Team spent hours researching currently available Covid data, weighing logistical options, and debating the impact of this decision on members of our community. This policy aims to maintain the values that are most important to our team while honoring the wide range of uniquely personal and complex logistical considerations that go into making a decision of this nature. We will continue to evaluate all of these factors on an ongoing basis and reserve the right to change this policy as needed to ensure the safety of our participants.
