The Center for the Arts in Fairfax, VA and the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas, VA will delay the start of indoor, in-person performances until March 2021, at the earliest. The two performing arts venues, which are operated by George Mason University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA) will continue to present digital performances and events through Mason Arts at Home and Hylton at Home, featuring a diverse lineup of renowned professional artists, community arts partners, and students and faculty of CVPA. The venues will gradually phase in a small number of in-person, indoor performances when it is considered safe to do so, in coordination with state and George Mason University officials.
