scribbled note

WE’VE ALL just seen a summer where normalcy finally made a comeback, and believe me, a lot has happened here at Ridgefield and Wilton Magazine. If you haven’t heard, Dee Dee Colabella of the RPAC Art Center and I as the co-founder have acquired the magazines and find ourselves at the start of another adventure.

After a long career as a creative director and illustrator, Dee Dee and I began RPAC as a response to the over-formulated system of art education and promoted a different approach, putting the artist first. I thought I was done with publishing until this opportunity landed in my lap. The area had just become a Cultural District, creativity is spilling into the streets, and refreshed businesses are opening their doors. What could be more perfect to tie all this together than a magazine? This area has so much to offer, with its thriving small businesses, striking landscapes, living history, and radiant arts and culture. We want the Ridgefield and Wilton Magazine to reflect how amazing this place is, so our ambitions are high. We want to expand our distribution and coverage area, increase the page count, and eventually move to a monthly publication. We feel it’s only right, as there is so much going on out there that even local residents still haven’t discovered! We would like your help, Wilton. Take a look at past issues of Wilton Magazine and ask yourselves, “how can my town be better represented?” Feel free to send your thoughts to me, so we can work together in this exciting new chapter.

A Fond Farewell

Leading Ridgefield Magazine and Wilton Magazine since Spring, 2020 has been an incredible pleasure. If it weren’t for my family’s move out of state, I’d undoubtedly still be publishing the magazines—with bells on. That being said, under the leadership of Ridgefield resident, mom, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Dee Dee Perrone Colabella, I know the magazines will soar to even greater heights. I’ve enjoyed sharing stories about our terrific towns and the people whose passions, dedication, and enthusiasm make them the truly magnificent places they are. I look forward to reading from afar, and seeing the beautiful stories Dee Dee and her team share!
