Health & Safety Guidelines  

Art Therapy Studio (ATS) has made health policies consistent with CDC guidelines for participating in our programs to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19. However, because COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is spread mainly from person-to-person contact, ATS cannot guarantee that its participants, volunteers, partners, or others in attendance will not become infected with COVID-19.  

We ask that anyone experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 to stay home and not come into our offices or attend our programs. If you come in and are discovered to have symptoms similar to COVID-19, you will be asked to leave. If you are a client-artist you will be asked to not return until you are: 1.) able to provide documentation of a negative COVID-19 test (regardless of vaccination status or if your symptoms have subsided) OR 2.) at least 2 weeks have passed since you first started experiencing symptoms or from when you were sent home. 

We work with a variety of individuals who are children or may be immunocompromised and want to keep COVID-19 (and other illnesses) controlled as best we can. Negative COVID-19 tests should be sent to Clinical Director Cheryl Pete at cheryl@arttherapystudio.org or mailed to us at Art Therapy Studio, Attn: Cheryl Pete, 12200 Fairhill Road, Cleveland, OH 44120 for approval before being permitted to return to the Studio prior to the 2-week quarantine period. 

Even though we are taking the COVID-19 pandemic seriously and are doing our best to prevent the spread of this highly infectious virus, we ask that you not come to our offices if you are sick in general.
