Welcome to the Elkland Art Center

Greetings from the Elkland Art Center,

As president of Elkland Art Center, I am very proud to announce that despite the current economic climate, Elkland Art Center remains steadfast and dedicated to its mission of providing communities with sustainability focused experiential art education. Like many organizations, these times have forced us to be as creative as possible with our fiscal management practices. Fortunately, as artists, innate creativity is our strong point. In addition to the variety of parade, performance, and workshop options available, Elkland Art Center has recently bolstered its product offerings to include stainless steel water bottles, coffee mugs, and a professionally developed feature film of our annual Liberty Parade. Because nationwide levels of grant funding are down across the board for non-profit organizations, we have decided to execute a funding diversification strategy. Since one of the primary objectives of Elkland Art Center is to encourage community participation, we ask that you participate by contributing to Elkland Art Center at this time. Contributions can come in many forms, and fortunately Elkland Art Center can be very accommodating to your desire to participate whether it is by volunteering or by providing a financial gift. All contributions are tax deductible and extremely appreciated. If you have a desire to participate then please do not hesitate!

For the love of the ARTS!
Lee F. Ball Jr.
President, Elkland Art Center

Our Trash Dragon made a special appearance on the campus of Appalachian State University in Boone last Fall. The event brought attention to a ban on plastics entering landfills that had recently been passed in North Carolina. The Trash Dragon made an appearance in Raleigh that Spring, right in front of the Capitol Building. Could there be a connection?
