Inaugural Shelton Art Walk Deemed a Success | Journal Article

“The success of the inaugural Shelton Art Walk on July 27 might help the city secure state money to establish a Downtown Shelton Creative District.

The event hosted by the City of Shelton, the Creative District Committee, and the Shelton Downtown Merchants featured more than 80 local vendors and artists on West Cota Street. About 20 businesses exhibited works by artists. The city spruced up the street by painting new angle-in parking spaces and adding streetlights and 18-inch planter boxes with trees.”
