[TAGS] Tactile art and COVID-19

[Keri Svendsen]

Hey Mike,


First I hope this email finds you well. I think wipes/a spray may be 
acceptable, but the question becomes how hard are the chemicals on the 
material. Perhaps art will need to be tested after creation or during 
stages by artists.

I don't know how well gloves would or wouldn't work, but that is also 
something that could be tested too.
