Renton Calls On Artists To 'Chalk Your Walk' This Week
Each day this week, residents are encouraged to decorate their driveways and sidewalks with messages of support for one another.
RENTON, WA — The City of Renton is calling on residents to decorate their driveways and sidewalks with art and messages of support during the coronavirus crisis. Renton's Recreation & Neighborhoods Division kicked off the "Chalk Your Walk" community initiative Monday.
Each day this week has a special theme to spur creativity:
Tuesday:
Who's Your Superhero? Nor all superheroes wear capes! Give thanks to essential workers like doctors, nurses, first responders, military members, mail carriers, grocery store clerks and others.
Wednesday:
Wellness Wednesday. Create a hopscotch board, an obstacle course or other exercises. Be creative and get moving!
Thursday:
Throwback Thursday. Share what you miss the most while social distancing: school, parks, shopping, coffee shops? Share it!
Friday:
Fantasy Friday. Add some fantasy to your Friday! Unicorns, knights, dreamy castles or Renton's own dragon, Erasmus.
Saturday & Sunday:
Weekend Warriors. Complete any remaining space with your own unbelievable art scape for pure viewing pleasure!
