We’re asking community members to bring small paper items that hold meaning — old invitations, cards, handwritten notes, drawings, or anything that reminds you of Stoneham. These pieces of your personal history will be added to an extra-large canvas under the guidance of local artists Bethany Shaw and Anna Ryan of bnamakery.com.

Bethany and Anna will help guide the community in attaching these materials to the canvas during the fair. Then, they’ll bring the piece back to their studio to thoughtfully arrange the contributions, add color and artistic details, and finish it off by placing Stoneham’s zip code (02180) at the center.

The final piece will become a lasting symbol of our shared story and will proudly hang in the Stoneham Public Library.

Come contribute your piece — and be part of something beautiful, together.
