Communities are where we find meaning and social unity that are critically important in this time of social distancing. 

 

​

Merrimack Valley: Place and Meaning 2020 is an opportunity to reflect upon and map those spaces, places, and activities that you value - and where you find community, culture, and connection. Sharing what is meaningful to you will become part of a community-wide digital map and will inform a community Expression Book designed by the community artists of Elevated Thought. It will be shared digitally and through a limited print edition, and all material will be archived to document this historic moment.

​


May 4 - June 30, 2020 is the time to weigh in and be heard - all safely online. Share your stories and images, and identify the places that matter to you now - and for the future. Your contributions to Merrimack Valley: Place and Meaning 2020 will guide efforts to support those treasured places as our communities recover and rebuild.
