Art Supplies <br />Art supplies will include paint, brushes, canvasses, and other supplies to help support the artists' <br />work in order to ensure the quality production of the final display pieces that will be installed. Art <br />supplies may also be used as part of the resident engagement activities to give residents an <br />opportunity to explore art and to contribute to the display that will be installed. A total of $700 has <br />been allocated to art supplies, however if the total costs exceed that amount, Delhi Center is <br />prepared to cover the excess cost. The actual cost will depend on the level of resident <br />engagement and the number of original art pieces that will be produced. <br />Display Materials <br />Display materials will be needed to create a beautiful presentation of the cultural history of the <br />Delhi neighborhood and center in a creative and artistic format using enlarged photos, original art <br />pieces, short stories, poetry, and other work created by local artists using a community <br />engagement process. The displays will be designed and created through a teamwork approach <br />with the artists, Delhi Center staff and board members, and residents, including seniors, children, <br />and teens who regularly participate in Delhi Center programs and services. The materials may <br />include photo enlargement into poster size pieces, frames to highlight short stories and poetry, <br />display boxes to showcase historic artifacts from the neighborhood, and lighting to create an <br />artistic ambiance. A total of $1,680 in grant funding has been allocated to this cost for <br />approximately 140 square feet, however if the total costs exceed that amount, Delhi Center is <br />prepared to cover the excess cost. <br />Installation Hardware <br />An estimated cost of $840 in mounting hardware will be covered in-kind by Delhi Center. These <br />items include hardware to ensure that the walls can withstand the weight of the display pieces <br />and that they are protected from damage. <br />Answers to Supplemental Questions: <br />Question 1: Please describe any additional City of Santa Ana resources required for your <br />project (permits, public space, licenses etc.) that you are required to obtain? <br />The proposed project will not require any additional City of Santa Ana resources as the displays <br />will all be housed inside Delhi Center and will not require any permits for installation. Support from <br />the City of Santa Ana and from the Arts Commission will be appreciated in helping to promote the <br />recruitment of Santa Ana artists who will be contracted to do the work and to help spread the word <br />about the project before, during, and after its completion. <br />Question 2: Is this a new or existing program/project? <br />This is a new project that stems from an idea that grew out of a recent Delhi Center Open House <br />where attendees were asked to vote on different programs and services as well as different design <br />concepts that were presented as part of the center's facility improvements. One of the design <br />concepts was to display art and historical photos in the center's lobby. Residents were excited <br />about this idea because there were several attendees who have lived in the neighborhood all their <br />lives. One woman still lived in the house her father built over 100 years ago and another woman <br />has lived in the neighborhood all of her 83 years. <br />Delhi Center <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
