AMDUR PRODUCTIONS REUNITES ARTISTS WITH MIDWEST COMMUNITIES SAFELY THIS SUMMER AS THEY HOST STREAMLINED ART WALKS AND VIRTUAL FESTS   

AMDUR PRODUCTIONS REUNITES ARTISTS WITH MIDWEST COMMUNITIES SAFELY THIS SUMMER AS THEY HOST STREAMLINED ART WALKS AND VIRTUAL FESTS   

The renowned art events production company has swiftly adapted to offer artists and attendees a safe, socially distant experience with the launch of nine thoughtfully-structured outdoor art walks and one virtual fest.

CHICAGO, IL (JULY 2020) –  Featuring some of the top artists from around the country to offer an artistic, mindful experience to Midwest communities this summer, Amdur Productions announces nine live outdoor art walks beginning in August running through October and the addition of one virtual fest to the lineup. With exhibits spanning a variety of mediums including painting, jewelry, sculpture, photographs, fashion wearables and more, Amdur Productions will host events in Glenview, Lincolnshire, Evanston, Highland Park, Milwaukee, Barrington, Wheaton and Glencoe. In an effort to reunite independent artists with local communities, rigorous safety protocols will be enforced at each event to ensure proper social distancing and an artful, socially distanced experience for both artists and attendees alike. Situated to streamline pedestrian flow, the layout of each event will follow a unidirectional path with ample signage and social distancing markings. Crowd size will be managed at each event and Amdur Productions has limited the amount of juried artists on site to assist in this effort.

Throughout each art walk, attendees will find advanced sanitation and security measures including ample sanitizing stations, singular entry and exit points, booths set at 10 feet apart, open lid garbage cans and removal of tables and chairs to eliminate touch points, markers and signage for flow of traffic and lines, widened aisles, staffed and regularly sanitized restrooms and team members to assist with social distancing enforcement. 

Amdur Productions has placed into effect a multitude of rules, regulations and protocols for attendees to abide by including the following: 

  • All attendees must register via Eventbrite for a one-hour time slot and contactless check-in with display of registration will be required for entry. 
  • Masks will be required for all in attendance (with the exception of children under the age of two). 
  • All sales will be required to be cashless and payment will be conducted without contact. 
  • Attendees will not be permitted to touch or try on merchandise while shopping. 
  • One person, family or friend group will be allowed in each booth at a time. 
  • Congregating is strongly discouraged.  

Each respective weekend, the art walks will be held from Saturday through Sunday, open beginning at 10 a.m. daily. High-risk individuals or those with special circumstances will be able to enjoy the event from the hours of 9 a.m – 10 a.m. daily, before opening to the public.
