Guiding Principles Southwest School of Art is committed to providing a safe working and learning environment for all employees and students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of our employees and students direct the ongoing review and adaptation of these guidelines for reopening the campus. Southwest School of Art reserves the right to increase or decrease these requirements at any time based on medical necessity or other factors. Southwest School of Art has established a COVID-19 Reopening Task Force to monitor conditions, respond to concerns and communicate SSA decisions. The goal for Southwest School of Art’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic is to protect employees and students while continuing the SSA mission to teach and advance the visual arts for the benefit of students seeking higher education and for others seeking education and enrichment. Southwest School of Art will continue to follow local and state orders and the recommendations of health advisors to protect our community. Our knowledge and understanding of the COVID-19 virus continue to evolve and these guidelines and plans will be updated and adapted as more information becomes available.
