I am local teaching artist and small business owner with a Masters degree from CSULB. <br />I have a music and arts studio where I teach private lessons and classes. <br />I help organize music and performances in Santa Ana for Art Walk, Savor, holiday events, and new performance space <br />Open Stage. <br />Investing in the Arts grants are incredibly important to creating community jobs. I have personally paid multiple <br />musicians and artists for events and programming that bring business to the city countless times, and I plan to apply for <br />this grant again next year to further education and stimulate the local economy. <br />It is absolutely necessary for this to be in the budget, in fact there should be an increase in budget available for artists, <br />teachers, and directors to create more programming to heal and invest our communities. <br />Please make these adjustments before the next budget reading on July 7th! <br />-Briana Harley <br />
