COVID PROTOCOLS
*Please note that we are monitoring the situation closely and expect to provide additional health and safety protocols, all of which are subject to change.*
Do I have to be vaccinated to participate in the workshop?
The health and safety of our workshop attendees is our top priority. In accordance with local state law requirements, all those attending the workshop must be fully vaccinated, and guests will be required to share photo identification and proof of vaccination (including booster doses) with workshop organizers prior to the start of the workshop no later than April 16, 2022 via one of two methods listed below:
-
– Upload and verify your vaccination record via Health Pass, a free and secure ID Digital Vaccine feature offered by the CLEAR app. The digital vaccine card provides CLEAR members with the ability to verify their vaccine information to generate a standalone digital card that is always accessible. CLEAR members will be able to create a digital vaccine card by linking directly with Atlantic Health System (AHS), SMART Health Card QR codes from places like Walmart and the State of California, or one of the hundreds of providers in Human API’s (HAPI’s) network. CLEAR is certified by the Department of Homeland Security.

6. Add your COVID-19 vaccination by either scanning your vaccination card; SMART Health QR code; or link to accepted healthcare providers.
7. Upon completion, you will receive a confirmation screen showing your photo and QR code noting you are verified by CLEAR. Please send Project Administrator, Heather Linton, a screenshot via email at heather@printscholars.org.
- – Uploading a photo of your vaccination card and a photo ID in the secure password protected Dropbox link. Recipients will only be able to access the shared link until it expires. After the expiration date, the link is disabled and no one will be able to view it.

Will I have to wear a face mask while participating in the program?
Masks will be required during all indoor events (with the exception of eating or drinking while maintaining distancing). Due to the intimate nature of the workshop activities, we will also encourage participants to avoid close, unmasked social activities, including social gatherings and dining with other unvaccinated people, in the days leading up to their arrival and throughout their stay in New Mexico.
Will I need to sign a waiver?
While participating in events held or sponsored by the Association of Print Scholars (“APS”), consistent with CDC guidelines, participants are encouraged to practice hand hygiene, “social distancing” and wear face coverings to reduce the risks of exposure to COVID-19. Because COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is spread mainly from person-to-person contact, APS has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, APS cannot guarantee that its participants, volunteers, partners, or others in attendance will not become infected with COVID-19.
As a result, all participants will be provided with a liability waiver and release of claims from APS and 10 Grand Press.
What are the testing protocols prior to arrival and during my stay in New Mexico?
All event attendees are required to present proof of a recent negative COVID-19 PCR test within 36 hours prior to arrival and will be asked to submit to a rapid COVID-19 test, provided by workshop organizers, on the day of arrival and the third day of the workshop.
Please keep documentation of any COVID-19 tests readily available in the event of an exposure or other public health needs.
What if I exhibit symptoms prior to the start of the workshop?
Visitors cannot attend the workshop, nor continue in the workshop activities, if they are exhibiting symptoms, have been diagnosed with COVID-19, or have otherwise been instructed to quarantine or isolate.
