With support from the California Arts Council, Art of Elan will strengthen its organizational capacity to deliver inclusive, high-impact programming that builds community through music. Funding will support year-round operations, including staff compensation, program development, artist fees, and strategic partnerships that expand access to classical music across San Diego County. Art of Elan presents adventurous concerts in traditional and non-traditional spaces, commissions new works by diverse composers, and provides transformative education residencies, such as Young Artists in Harmony, for underrepresented youth. General operating funds will ensure the sustainability of these efforts, enabling Art of Elan to deepen relationships, amplify the voices of marginalized individuals, and model a more equitable and community-rooted vision of the arts. CAC support is essential to growing the organization’s reach and resilience in a rapidly changing cultural and funding landscape.
