Your assistance allowed us to once again hold <br />ArtSoup, our biennial community arts festival at the Handke Stadium. In addition, <br />your past assistance has helped us offer access to art exhibits, performances of <br />dance, music, and comedy during our annual series, and access to arts classes <br />through our collaborative program, ArtScape. <br />Our membership, over hall of which resides in Elk River supports our <br />programming through their annual dues, attendance of our programming, and by <br />volunteering hundreds of hours a year. Their commitment reflects the importance <br />that the arts and the Arts Alliance has in their lives. <br />We partner with many area businesses who support our programming through <br />their direct participation in sponsoring our events and programming but by also <br />participating on our programming committees and on our Board. <br />
