Tram Le, Ails & Culture Specialist <br />City of Santa. Ana, Community Development Agency <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Dear Ms. Le, <br />I am writing on behalf of Santa Ana Unified School District's Ails Department to express our <br />interest in applying for the Graffiti Arts Program grant. Our proposed program aims to bring <br />awareness of the downtown murals as well as various nmral styles, media, and techniques. <br />As you are aware, Santa Ana is a city rich in cultural heritage and artistic expression. The murals <br />located throughout oar downtown area are a testament to the creativity and vibrancy of our <br />community. However, many of these murals go unnoticed by the public, and we believe that <br />through the Graffiti Arts Program, we can shed light on these amazing works of art and inspire <br />the next generation of artists. <br />Our program will be aimed at high school students in the Santa Ana Unified School District. We <br />plan to provide hands-on workshops where students will learn about different mural styles, media, <br />and techniques, including graffiti art. Through these workshops, students will have the <br />opportunity to develop their artistic skills and express their creativity in a positive and <br />constructive way. <br />We also plan to take students on walking tours of the downtown area, where they will be able to <br />view and learn about the various murals. This will not only give students a better understanding <br />of the history and cultural significance of these murals, but it will also allow them to see the <br />potential of mural art in their own communities. <br />We believe that our Graffiti Arts Program will be a valuable addition to the Santa Ana <br />community, and we are excited about the possibility of partnering with the City of Santa Ana and <br />the Community Development Agency to make it a reality. We are committed to providing an <br />enriching and educational experience for our students, while also promoting the beauty and <br />cultural significance of the downtown murals. <br />Thank you for your consideration of our grant proposal. We look forward to the opportunity to <br />collaborate with the City of Santa Ana and make a positive impact on our community. <br />Sincerely, <br />Robyn MacNair <br />SAUSD Arts Coordinator <br />Santa Ana Unified School District <br />/ <br />Lindsey Barfield <br />SAUSD Ails Program Specialist <br />Santa Ana Unified School District <br />
