Improve the Quality of Life of Children of All Ages
The purpose of the Elville Center for the Creative Arts is to improve the quality of life of children of all ages by providing them the opportunity to learn music theory and application, experience cultural events related to the musical and creative arts, and to use music and the promotion of music-related activities to transcend social and economic divisions.
We are working with local businesses and private donors to partner with school music programs and other organizations to provide musical instruments, rentals, music lessons and participation in music-related activities for children of all ages. We’re actively seeking monetary pledges and donations of used musical instruments in very good condition, which will be refurbished (Donations may be tax-deductible. Please consult with your tax advisor).
As a proud supporter of music and the creative arts, the Elville Center would like to recognize the following organizations for their support and for the positive difference they make in the community.

Our Efforts
The attorneys and staff of Elville and Associates are proud of the firm’s charitable organization, the Elville Center for the Creative Arts, Inc. Founded on June 30, 2014 by Managing Principal Stephen Elville, J.D., LL.M., the Elville Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that partners with local businesses such as the classical music station 91.5 WBJC, The Band Shoppe, the Columbia Orchestra, The Annapolis Symphony Orchestra, and other non-profit organizations to provide musical instruments, musical instrument rentals, music lessons, and participation in music-related activities to and for school children of all ages throughout Maryland.
As most of our clients are aware, Elville and Associates is an active sponsor of the arts through its support of WBJC classical radio and performances. The firm also promotes awareness of the arts by providing clients with opportunities to attend events at The Kennedy Center, The Strathmore, Modell Lyric Opera House, and other venues. Although Elville and Associates has traditionally supported and promoted music in the classical genre, student participants in Elville Center-sponsored educational activities have the ability to choose their own musical paths based on their own individual preferences, talents, and goals.
Your Support
Your monetary donations and used musical instrument donations are critical to the success of the Elville Center’s mission. It is the hope of Elville and Associates’ Managing Principal and Founder of the Elville Center, Stephen Elville, that this charitable initiative captures the imaginations and enthusiasm of our clients, business partners, and the community at large culminating in the fulfillment of many dreams and a continuation of the music.
