While California is the creative capitol <br />of the country many of the jobs within this sector go to artists from other parts of the country and we would like to see these jabs go to our local youth. We have been <br />especially consumers in creating this festival to make sure that the models of success we bring to our community are made up of people who lock like our youth, have <br />stories and bockgrounds like them.
