Community Correspondence: Postcard Submissions

Community Correspondence seeks to explore and celebrate the essence of Shelton. Through the lens of unique perspectives and shared experiences, our project aims to cultivate understanding through connection.

What new insights will we uncover through our connections with one another and the environment around us? What narratives will be revealed? What objects or experiences will emerge through this exploration?

From the light filtering through a particular tree, testimonies of love, and odes to historical architecture, to the challenging designs for living and other complexities—each contribution will illuminates the intricate layers of Shelton. Together, your contributions will help create a multifaceted portrait of our community, revealing new dimensions of connection and understanding.
