Elk Grove and surrounding communities have been overlooked and under-appreciated when it comes to a regional theater and community arts center. The need for the American Renaissance Institute of Arts (ARIA) is staggering, as community members thirst for arts education and performances ranging from ballet to musicals to theater to orchestral, jazz and ensemble-like performances. Sign this petition to show investors that the Elk Grove Citizens support and request a Professional Performing Arts Venue such as the ARIA Regional Theater to demonstrate that we as a society understand that art has value. ARIA wants the Elk Grove and surrounding communities to feast from the plethora of classic and modern arts that our culture and COMMUNITY has to offer. Let's show California that ART HAS VALUE! We want a THEATER!!
