In ArtSoup, we <br />. have an important opportunity to impact our community in a way it has not felt <br />before: <br /> <br />· ArtSoup provides support for the arts by making the arts a prominent issue. <br />· ArtSoup provides formats for artists and other community arts resources to <br />network with each other and with the community at large. <br />· ArtSoup provides a showcase of the plentiful artistic talent located in our <br />own community. <br />· ArtSoup provides a gathering place for community members to come <br />together. <br />· ArtSoup establishes a tradition which can provide our region with a strong, <br />positive identity. <br />· ArtSoup draws audiences from the greater region of the ISO 728 school <br />district and beyond, and will have a positive impact on our local economy. <br />· ArtSoup is a means to building healthy assets in our children. <br />· ArtSoup is a strong, positive response to clearly defined needs in the Elk <br />River Area community. It will provide a springboard of support for arts <br />facilities. Its goals are supported by research and the 2001 Arts Alliance <br />volunteers are excited about the difference we can make in our community! <br /> <br />-8- <br />
