Question 4: How will this project enrich the quality of life for Santa Ana residents? <br />Santa Ana has a thriving arts and culture community. By connecting with and supporting the <br />young artists of Santa Ana High School, we are cultivating artists who contribute to the community <br />both today and in the future. Free public performances will add another layer of enrichment for <br />residents. Infusing the Santa Ana community with premier arts experiences and instruction <br />enriches the quality of life for all of Santa Ana's residents. <br />Question 5: Describe how your project will stimulate economic development for the City <br />of Santa Ana. <br />When the arts thrive, the economy of a city thrives. Nationally, the average person spends $31.47, <br />in addition to the cost of their ticket, to attend an arts event (Arts and Economic Prosperity 5 <br />Study, Americans for the Arts). We will produce at least one, and as many as three, free public <br />events at SAHS. While the cost of admission is free, the events will generate audience spending <br />on meals, transportation, and other expenditures. Additionally, SAHS students will be exposed to <br />the arts landscape at the college level and the professional creative sector, providing them with <br />the training and access necessary to contribute to the creative economy of the City of Santa Ana. <br />Outreach, UC Irvine <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
