The lead muralist on the project is Moises <br />Camacho, a local gallery owner with extensive mural experience both locally <br />and internationally. The Project Director is Adriana Sanchez Alexander, <br />Director of the WCA. Both are Santa Ana residents with expertise in murals <br />and in the administration of community-based art projects, respectively. <br />Attached, you will also find copies of their professional resumes. All members <br />of the coalition are volunteering their time. The project is being made possible <br />through donations. <br />An Opportunity to Set Precedent <br />The Plaza Santa Ana Community Mural is the first public mural that Santa Ana <br />has seen in many years. It is also, notably, the first project that the Santa Ana <br />Business Council has voted to support. For some involved in the project, it is <br />the first time they have ever felt compelled to lend their volunteer efforts to a <br />community project. <br />Ultimately, with so many firsts, this project represents an extraordinary <br />opportunity to set a precedent for what Santa Ana's vision of community art <br />looks like. We hope that this project inaugurates a new era of public art in <br />Santa Ana, including the establishment of a formal process that is transparent <br />and welcoming combined with a vision that is expansive and diverse. To again <br />quote the City Manager's comments, this project represents "an opportunity to <br />encourage our diverse community members to all work together on a unique <br />and meaningful public art project, a positive step for our community." <br />Thank you for your time. We look forward to meeting with the City Manager, <br />Michelle Martinez, and other Council Members to discuss the future of the Plaza <br />Santa Ana Community Mural. We also welcome the opportunity to answer <br />questions and respond to any specific concerns. <br />Sincerely, <br />The Santa Ana Community Mural Artists Coalition <br />®mural letter attachments.pdf <br />1.1MB <br />3 of 3 7/17/2018, 2:07 PM <br />
