UPDATED FEBRUARY 1, 2023:
18th & Union is committed to carefully and proactively following all public health and common sense guidelines. We’ve made improvements to the physical venue, acquired equipment to support live streaming over the internet, and set up health and safety protocols for artists, audience members and others who will access the space.

18th & Union is an intimate venue, and performance is a unique venture. In order to ensure performer, staff, and guest safety, these guidelines remain in place until further notice. Please note the following guidelines for joining us in-person at 18th & Union:

• Symptom- and exposure-free. Please ensure your full group is free of cold, flu, COVID or other contagious symptoms on the day of the show, and that no one is in an observation or quarantine period due to a confirmed case of or exposure to a contagious condition.
• The bar will be open for concessions and drinks. Masks are required while not eating or drinking.
• All venue staff and performers are following these same guidelines and will be masked when not performing.
• We have a ventilation system that transfers the air in the performance space several times every hour.

• If you purchase an in-person ticket, and change your mind for any reason, we will exchange your tickets for the Stream.

Ready to Stream

Most of our shows are offered to in-person attendees, as well as stream audiences. In this way, we hope to be able to accommodate multiple preferences for viewing, and to pivot quickly if public health recommendations change without warning.

As always at 18th & Union, tickets are offered on a sliding scale to accommodate different budgets while also valuing the work of our partner artists. 

All this is possible thanks to generous support from many who helped us get to this point. Special thanks to: Our understanding landlords; 4Culture; ArtsFund; Raynier Foundation; SBA; alongside many vital individual donors. These financial resources were critical in helping 18th & Union survive the shutdown and add the improvements we needed to reopen.
