Spray Chalk: Summer’s Hot Commodity
June 26, 2020 | ArtsNews
Spray chalk, it seems, will be a hot commodity this summer. As dozens of arts organizations plan to pivot their indoor events into an outdoor format, many will be marking off socially distanced areas in the grass with chalk to ensure safe gatherings. Another common refrain among them: masks, hand sanitizer, and awaiting a green light from New York State officials. Until then, with the uncertainty of their summer revenue stream at stake, they continue planning.
But don’t worry, they aren’t going anywhere. “I am trying to work on details – figuring out the number of possible participants and how best to maintain distance,” says Lorraine Laken, Director of the Hammond Museum. Outdoor tai chi has never seemed so complicated.
