Consulate of Mexico In Santa Ana <br />ui. uo r7i axle« € ti Number: ] 2. 9 9 <br />Santa Ana, California, May 3, 2018 <br />Santa Ana Arts and Culture Commission <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />M-25, 6th Floor <br />Santa Ana, CA 9270 <br />Dear Members of the Santa Ana Arts and Culture Commission: <br />I am pleased to submit this letter in support of the Orange County Children's <br />Therapeutic Arts Center's (OCCTAC) application to the Investing in the Artist Grant <br />Program. OCCTAC's proposed project to present the "We are Santa Ana" Youth Art <br />Exhibition is a great opportunity to celebrate the artistic accomplishments of Santa Ana <br />youth, our cultural diversity and to educate the community about the artistic traditions of <br />Santa Ana. <br />One of the goals of this Consulate of Mexico is to engage with local authorities and <br />agencies to promote educational and cultural programs in the community. Within this <br />framework, we partner with OCCTAC to support their Youth Art Exhibition in Santa Ana, <br />as well as the Santa Ana's Multicultural Family Festival that will feature musical and <br />dance performances by children and youth of all ages from the various ethnic <br />communities/cultures in Santa Ana. This unique venture is an exciting opportunity to <br />expose diverse segments of Santa Ana's population, as well as to educate the <br />community as to the value and the role that the arts play in contemporary cultural <br />identity. <br />As a partner in the proposed project, the Consulate of Mexico has worked and will <br />continue to assist OCCTAC with events that promote cultural and educational programs <br />for the community in Santa Ana and Orange County. <br />Hoping that this Commission will positively consider OCCTAC"s request, I take this <br />opportunity to express my highest consideration. <br />Since <br />Mario <br />Consu <br />E <br />
