Élan would like to invite you to our 40^th Fall/Winter Edition. As you navigate through the issue, we encourage you to open up to the endless possibilities of change and recognize these young artists as they delve into conception and familiarity through their voices.

As the days grow shorter, we ask that you take a moment to reflect with us. Élan looks back on the dying year, but more importantly, we look towards the future. For nearly 40 years, the foundation of Élan has always been uplifting the voices of young artists, and no matter what change occurs, that much will stay the same. We thank you for being on this journey with us.

Signed,

Jeneva Hayes and Deidra Curtis
