MELROSE — Follow Your Art Community Studios (FYACS) is excited to partner with Tony Colella Landscaping this spring to create a new outdoor venue for classes, performances and community gatherings behind The Big Yellow House at 647 Main St. The updated backyard space will include a garden, stage and patio featuring personalized engraved bricks made possible by members of the community.

“The Patio at Follow Your Art will enhance the cultural vitality of downtown Melrose with new creative opportunities,” shares Kris Rodolico, Executive Director at FYACS. “This space will belong to all of us and we invite community members to help create this special and lasting resource.”

Engraved bricks, available through March 27, can be personalized with names or short sayings and will be installed at Follow Your Art later this spring. You can learn more by visiting bit.ly/FYAbricks.
