Clean Air Club PROVIDES FREE AIR PURIFIERS TO CHICAGO ARTISTS AND TOURING MUSICIANS. We believe that focusing on indoor air quality during an ongoing pandemic is one of the ways that we can protect the health and safety of everyone in this community. It’s good for performers, it’s good for us, and it’s good for the long-term health of our thriving creative scene.

If an event or a venue has the Clean Air Club badge, it means that the space (including green rooms and backstage where possible) has at least one HEPA air purifier running to reduce the number of airborne pathogens in the room.
 

In practical terms, this means that a Clean Air Club event is less likely to be one in which Covid-19 and other respiratory diseases are spread, making it Covid-safer for everyone. While there is still a risk of catching Covid when we are in public, there are many ways to mitigate that risk (including masks, staying home when sick, etc.). Air filtration is an important and under-utilized element of this multifaceted risk-mitigation effort.
