Name of Applicant: Award Amount: Category: Average Score: Outreach, UC Irvine $6,010 Organization 85.4 -7th Organization's Description of Project: The Claire Trevor School of the Arts at UC Irvine floods Santa Ana High School students and teachers with opportunities to learn and grow through the arts. The emphasis of the partnership is youth development, exposing SAHS students to college and career pathways, using the arts as the tool. Through scholarships, workshops, master classes, performances and one-on-one coachings, the Trevor School is 1.) building students' awareness of the university experience making it a tangible goal; 2.) exposing students to the arts at the college level; 3.) emphasizing the value of an arts education; and 4.) cultivating engaged young artists. Organization is not based in Santa Ana and proposes to use grant funds to provide arts and culture programming in Santa Ana in Wards 2, 3, 4, and 5. Organization's proposed use of funds: Funds from the City of Santa Ana will support the collaboration by providing scholarships for SAHS students to participate in multi -week intensives and one -day workshops, stipends for the teaching artists engaged in the program, and transportation, meals, materials, and free access to these and other ticketed events. We learned that, in the past, when we only offered free access to ticketed events without providing transportation and meals, students could not participate due to food insecurity and lack of reliable transportation. We seek to provide truly free access for the Santa Ana community, removing as many of the barriers to participation as possible. Answers to Supplemental Questions: Question 1: Please describe any additional City of Santa Ana resources required for your project (permits, public space, licenses etc.) that you are required to obtain? We present at least one, and as many as three, events in the Bill Medley Auditorium at SAHS and will need access to the auditorium for those events. This is usually arranged through the teachers at SAHS. Question 2: Is this a new or existing program/project? This is an existing program. It began in the 2012-13 school year with a single master class and side-by-side performance in the SAHS instrumental music area, and has grown since then to include all arts disciplines and many points of contact between UCI and SAHS. Question 3: How will the proposed project be presented or shared with the public? Will the art display, event or performance be free and accessible to the public? The program will present at least one, and as many as three, free public performances at SAHS. Ti ese free periormarces will include a full symphony orchestra concert performed side-by-side by the UCI and SAHS Symphony Orchestras in Spring 2019. Additional free public events may include open lecture/demonstrations, master classes, and workshops throughout the 2018-19 school year. Outreach, UC Irvine Page 1 of 2
