We believe that the City of Elk River, with its revitalized downtown, its future as <br />a destination on the NorthStar commuter rail, and its growing industrial and <br />commercial developments recognizes that the arts are an essential element of <br />community life which adds economic value, creative perspective on shared values, <br />and opportunities for personal growth of its citizens through participation in arts <br />events and programming. <br />The Arts Alliance is recognized as the regional source for the arts. Our history <br />of developing a Strings for Youth training program, our nationally recognized juried <br />art exhibition Arts in Harmony, and our continuing performing arts series gives Elk <br />River and the region exposure and access to high quality, affordable, close to home <br />art that is not done by any other local group on a regular basis. <br />The Arts Alliance is very excited about the opportunity the redeveloped <br />downtown offers for arts programming, from expanded use of the excellent Riverside <br />Park to working with business owners to create arts based events that draw people to <br />the downtown district. The Arts Alliance will be a strong partner of making this <br />potential a reality. Your continued support in helping us assist the citizens of Elk <br />River is greatly appreciated. <br />Sincerely, <br />Patrick Grace <br />Executive Director <br />enclosures <br />
