Thanks, Everyone!
Our posters are on the streets or in windows around town. We are no longer accepting artwork, but invite you to display a poster to spread the message that wearing a mask helps everyone. 

All submissions (received as of 8/16/20) were used, either as sandwich board posters or as smaller window posters.

Participating Artists:
If you would like a free coroplast poster (or smaller paper version) of your piece just let us know. 

FEBRUARY 2021
If you are a business or have a free window at home:
We’d be happy to give you an 11x17 paper poster - your choice from the images on this page. Just drop us a line via the CONTACT link.  If you display a poster, let us know. We can list your support here (with a picture if you like).





“Stay Safe! Salida”
The Project:
We’re a small ad hoc committee waging a poster (on sandwich board) campaign  in an attempt to get the word out that wearing a mask in this time of COVID-19 is in everyone’s best interest. Wearing a mask in public protects you and it protects those around you.

We love the idea of seeing art on the streets, so why not spread the message that way? That’s been our project. There were  several groups already working to educate and support the community about this issue. We wanted to help.

Posters featuring the work of local creatives have been mounted on sandwich boards and placed in different parts of the city. The posters are also displayed on this page (click image to expand). We have 12 boards (2 posters each) . Smaller paper posters are available for windows.

In order to fill  the boards and get them to the street, the committee  contributed several of their own to add to those submitted by county participants. 

The focus: Salida but all Chaffee County residents (all ages) were invited to participate. We were only limited by the # of available sandwich boards and the requirement that images needed to clearly express the message - “Wearing a mask helps everyone!”
