Media Arts Santa Ana received <br />an Investing in the Artist Grant, which enabled us to partner with New York's Philip K. Dick Film Festival to <br />celebrate local author and science fiction legend Philip K. Dick. The resulting festival partnership garnered <br />national media attention and attracted filmmakers from throughout the United States, Canada, England, <br />Italy and Japan to Santa Ana. <br />Additionally, our OC Film Fiesta, which was started with support from the City, just celebrated its loth <br />annual festival. <br />Here is a link to review the Santa Ana Arts and Culture Master Plan to refresh your knowledge of its <br />community -led recommendations and timeline for implementation. <br />https://www.santa-a na.org/cd/commissions/arts-and-culture-commission/sa nta-ana-arts-and-culture- <br />master-plan <br />Thank You for Your Commitment to Santa Ana's Arts Community, <br />- Victor Payan <br />Victor Payan <br />Director <br />Media Arts Santa Ana (MASA) <br />c:619-701-0073 <br />e: victoromasamedia.org <br />Media Arts Santa Ana (MASA) is a project of Community Partners, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. <br />
