EXHIBIT 11 collaboration in both the visual and performing arts that provide a safe medium for practicing and rediscovering social interaction skills. Young artists will have the opportunities to have decision- making and problem -solving responsibilities and thus feel ownership of the program and an impact on the community. Question 5: Describe how your project will stimulate economic development for the City of Santa Ana. During our fall and winter programs at the Delhi Center, we served a total of 120 students. Seventy-four percent of our participants classified as extremely low income, 24% very low income and 9% low income. Youths and teens living in the Delhi neighborhood qualify as at risk and underprivileged communities face cyclical challenges due to the lack of opportunities to gain insight and recognize their inner gifts in a safe environment. ALBI will improve the summer program by giving artists a chance to voice their creations in poetry, spoken word, song, dance and visual art. Furthermore, our young artists will discover community heroes and their impact in the community, which will inspire our students to become heroes too. ALBI will provide support for young artists to showcase what they learned through various community events including DTSA Art Walk and connecting with local businesses to display the published book in their space. This will also bring awareness to local venues that support the arts throughout Santa Ana. Our students will enhance the community with powerful messages by sharing their published book throughout the city and through their contemporary performances. Moreover, ALBI will offer Santa Ana residents job opportunities to use their artistic backgrounds to teach skills within our program. Currently, many of our teaching artists are Santa Ana residents who feel a sense of empowerment and importance to giving back in our community, especially teaching the arts for youth.
