We are well into the planning for this year's ArtSoup Elk River Community Arts <br />Festival and are eager to tell you about the numerous performances, exhibits, children's <br />activities and educational workshops scheduled. We are particularly excited that ArtSoup <br />has been chosen this year to be part of Arts Across Minnesota, a state-wide collection of <br />prominent arts events. <br /> <br />As always, we are collaborating with organizations, schools and businesses to make the <br />festival a well-rounded community event. Elk River's Community Recreation department <br />is already making plans for its participation in ArtSoup and we have begun working with <br />Phil Hals to work out the logistics of the festival weekend. Of course, we plan to hire the <br />Elk River Police Reserve again for daytime and overnight security. <br /> <br />With the growth of our organization, its expanded list of quality arts activities, and the <br />Arts Alliance's emphasis on community through events such as ArtSoup, we believe that <br />the support from the City of Elk River is well placed. <br /> <br />We look forward to visiting with you Monday evening. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Elk River Area Arts Alliance <br /> <br />Tony Darkenwald <br />Treasurer <br /> <br />Executive Director <br /> <br /> <br />
