cost to the public. In addition, OCCTAC plans to promote, publicize and disseminate project in <br />the following ways: 1) OCCTAC website and Facebook, 2) local media channels (online & print), <br />3) contact local radio and TV stations both English and Spanish, 4) develop flyers and save the <br />date post cards for community outreach, 5) share with our Community partners, such as: City of <br />Santa Ana, Santa Ana Downtown Inc., the Santa Ana Unified School District, TCF, SIS and <br />others. <br />Question 4: How will this project enrich the quality of life for Santa Ana residents? <br />The Orange County Children's Therapeutic ARTS Center will hire local Santa Ana Artists to <br />conduct the workshops with the Santa Ana students and final Art Exhibition. Also, the <br />Multicultural Festival will feature local artists living in Santa Ana from the various ethnic/cultural <br />groups (Latinos, Vietnamese and Cambodian) communities. Furthermore, and most importantly, <br />our Santa Ana Youth will have the opportunity to showcase their personal stories, identity and <br />cultural values growing up in Santa Ana. Finally, because Santa Ana is the home to various <br />ethnically/culturally diverse communities, this project provides an opportunity to celebrate Santa <br />Ana's diverse arts and cultural community! It is very important to educate our Santa Ana youth <br />and community about the importance of working together and valuing the different cultures in <br />Santa Ana. In the past, gang activity and conflicts among the various ethnic/cultural groups were <br />divisive in nature and created conflict in the community. An event like this one will foster peace, <br />unity, and cultural understanding of the various ethnic/cultural communities in Santa Ana, while <br />also celebrating the Santa Ana Arts community! <br />Question 5: Describe how your project will stimulate economic development for the City <br />of Santa Ana. <br />The project proposed here will stimulate economic development for the City of Santa Ana since <br />OCCTAC is reinvesting the funds with this project by hiring local talent from the Santa Ana <br />community. As mentioned previously, OCCTAC will hire local Santa Ana Art instructors and <br />professional artists living in the City of Santa Ana. This creates workforce development <br />opportunities for local residents. Also, OCCTAC plans to pay young adults to work on this project <br />to assist and learn from professional artists. <br />Orange County Children's Therapeutic Arts Center (OCCTAC) <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
