Malden has always been a place of storytellers, makers, and dreamers. Whether you are inspired by our deep history, its natural beauty, or your own imagination, we want to see what you’re creating! The Creative Corner is a digital gallery dedicated to the voices of our community.

What can you share?

• Writing: Submit short stories, poems, or even a chapter of your own "Maldenverse" style fiction.

• Art & Illustration: Share drawings, paintings, or digital art. From historical sketches of the salt works to modern-day scenes in the neighborhood.

• Photography: Send in your best shots of the historic churches, the riverside, or local wildlife (like the resident cats!).

• Crafts & DIY: Show off your latest projects, whether it’s baking, hand-made costumes, or historical recreations.

How to Submit: Ready to share your work? Send your files or photos to friendsofmalden@gmail.com with the subject line "Creative Corner Submission." Be sure to include your name and a brief sentence about your piece so we can credit you properly!
