“The gallery is such a fun place to be during the annual Student Exhibition,” said Kris Rodolico, Executive Director. “Many of these artists have never exhibited before, and this year we will be taking the show to other locations to increase community access to this creative work.”
This showcase of FYACS student artists’ creative work is made with generous support from the Melrose Cultural Council and Melrose Cooperative Foundation. Included with this support will be a Visual Tour of the exhibit at a later date.
Follow Your Art Community Studios is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is to support creative endeavors for all ages and abilities with opportunities for learning, growth, discovery, and outreach through visual arts, writing, and performance. Learn more at fyamelrose.org.
