How to Safely Visit the Short North Arts District

Wear a Mask

Though the City of Columbus and State of Ohio mask mandates have been lifted, visitors who are unvaccinated are highly encouraged to wear a mask. Additionally, if a business has posted signage requesting visitors to wear a mask before entering, please comply by wearing a mask the entire time you are inside the business (unless actively eating or drinking while seated).

Hand Wash and Sanitize

Visitors are encouraged to continue to wash and sanitize their hands in indoor spaces. If a business has posted signage requesting visitors to wash or sanitize their hands upon entering, please comply.

Social Distance

Visitors are encouraged to continue to practice social distancing in indoor and outdoor spaces. If a business has posted signage requesting visitors to social distance upon entering, please comply.

Park with Contactless Payment

Parking in the Short North Arts District is easier – and safer – than ever. In addition to new contactless options that have recently been installed throughout the District, the ParkColumbus App continues to be a quick and easy contactless method of paying for parking.
