Follow Your Art Community Studios
About
Follow Your Art Community Studios is an independent nonprofit arts center in Melrose offering classes, workshops, exhibits and events for all ages and abilities. Programs cover visual arts, craft, writing and performance, with a pottery studio, monthly needlecraft meetups, gallery shows and hands-on workshops such as stained glass and decoupage. The center aims to be accessible to people of every identity, ability, background and income, and also offers its space for private and public events.
It grew out of Follow Your Art, LLC, a small community art studio that Kris Rodolico opened on Main Street in 2008. As the studio’s mission grew, it came to feel more like a nonprofit community endeavor than a personal business, and work began on a new mission and a new space. FYACS supports local artists and writers with space to create and show work, and runs community art projects with local organizations, schools and outside facilities.
