Spray Chalk cans can be found at kuzsports.com. Contact me for tips on how to avoid upsetting grounds crew, facility maintenance, and how to address other potential “fires” from this great idea.

We are going to be tagging downtown Jacksonville, Florida using a stencil with spray chalk of the URL for our new online calendar http://www.experiencejax.com. Please tell me more about how not to upset anyone.
Thanks. -Susan

Notify your building/ground maintenance of your activity. Let them know that the chalk will look like paint, but will wash off with weather. It can also be “encouraged” to fade with a broom, and a hose. The amount of scrubbing will depend on the layer of thickness (how many colors) in the design.
I would also strategically place the stencil chalk creation far enough away from the door -people WILL WALK ON THIS. You want the footprints to fade before they enter the building (like a puddle). Also, stay away from vertical surfaces, they don’t wash away as easily.

Looks like this is back in discussion mode. I’d like to be able to upload images for example.

I am doing a guerilla campaign tagging sidewalks and bus stops in Gainesville and around the UF campus but have been using washable sidewalk paint. I am going to use the spray chalk next since the sidewalk paint tends to bleed through the stencil and is not as clear if you are using a lot of detail, but if you need it in a hurry, it is easier to get than spray chalk. Crafts stores carry it.
