The Mask Challenge

Starting at noon Monday, masks were required inside grocery stores and pharmacies within the City of Spartanburg to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The ordinance also called for all employees at restaurants and retail stores in the city to wear masks.

Bringing Back the Burg last week announced The Mask Challenge, a partnership with Chapman Cultural Center, to place masks on pieces of public art in Spartanburg. The public is encouraged to place temporary face masks on pre-identified pieces of public art, and businesses can participate by putting masks on privately-owned, visible pieces of art.
