The Tivoli Street Painting Festival has been cancelled, according to organizers.
“Closing Broadway and inviting all of you to find a square on the street and begin to draw with the chalk that we give out, violates all of the governor’s advisories on how to prevent further contagion of the coronavirus,” organizers said in a statement.
The group considered a virtual chalk painting festival, but “found it difficult to structure distribution of the chalk so that it was equitable … it would be wonderful to recreate the Festival digitally, but it will take time and resources and the ability to share our ideas and identify the right resources and people to get it done.”
