The Elk <br />River Area Arts Council ("Arts Council") is a non-profit organization currently run entirely by volunteerS. <br />Our ore;'lni7.ation integrates local artists, develops community awareness of the necessity and value of the <br />arts, and provides opportunities, which are otherwise unavailable. We aim to serve all aspects of arts <br />including, but not limited to, visual arts, dance, literary arts, media arts, music, and theater. <br /> <br />The fact of the matter is that Elk River and its surrounding communities have become one of the fastest <br />growing and most moved to areas by residents in Minnesota. More and more people are seeking out our . <br />organization for information on local arts events. During the summer, we worked in partnership with the <br />Community Recreation Board to sponsor entertainment during Art Soup held in downtown Elk River and a <br />Strings recitaVice cream social in Lions Park. This fall season we plan on sponsoring a concert. Hopefully, <br />the concert will be part of the grand opening of the new Boys and Girls Club facility in Lions Park. <br /> <br />In the past, the Arts Council has been allocated $5000 and the Community Theater was allocated $1000. <br />However, the Community iTheater, as a separate organization, does not exist anymore: We have integrated <br />much of the Community Theater's volunteers and other resources into the 2001 Arts Alliance and Arts <br />Council. <br /> <br />We greatly appreciate all the support the City of Elk River has afforded our organization. We hope the <br />City of Elk River will see fit to continue to support the arts. <br /> <br />Respectfully Yours, <br /> <br />ELK RIVER AREA ARTS COUNCIL <br /> <br />.m~~<~ <br /> <br />Marlys Go~~ <br />Volunteer Executive Director <br /> <br />, .
