About
Us
EVAN was organized to bring
the arts to the Lake Elsinore Valley. Our specific purpose is the
advancement of
education and the
promotion, development, and coordination of cultural opportunity
within the City of Lake Elsinore and its surrounding areas, and for
charitable purposes by aiding cultural organizations, providing advice
and consent
to such groups, and providing assistance for grants.
Each summer, EVAN produces "Music
With A View", a free summer series of four outdoor
concerts. Visit
www.musicwithaview.com for
the upcoming concert's schedule.
The first
year
we had
approximately 1,000 attending the concert series. During the 2005
series,
we estimate our attendance to be a total of approximately 2,500
to 3,000. In the coming years we hope to continue to increase our
attendance.
Each year since our organization,
we have held a Young Poets’ Contest
within the Lake Elsinore Unified School District for grades 4-12. The winners read
their poems to their parents and guests at an awards program where they
receive plaques for first, second, and third place as well as honorable
mention winners
receive certificates.
We participate in all of the community
functions for children including the Children’s Fair on the
Saturday before Easter,
and donate money for the Winterfest in December where snow
is brought in on the first Friday of December.
