On November 5, Melrose voters will decide who will represent them in city hall. These are the leaders that make decisions that impact our everyday lives on the local level. Because elections are our chance to stand up for what matters to us, we believe arts and culture should be part of the conversation, too.
Let's engage the candidates about the connection between their priorities and arts, culture, and creativity.
