Describe the Our event is free, open to the public, and designed to bring economic <br />community benefits development to Santa Ana's small businesses, including artists, crafters, <br />of this event entertainers, and food service. Our intention is to create bridges for those <br />who have not traditionally been included in these types of activities. We <br />strive to build our community, strengthen it, and empower our neighbors to <br />explore their talents. We want to make our neighborhood's art and culture <br />accessible to the larger community. Our goal is to create a safe, engaging <br />space for our community to enjoy. <br />Our neighborhood families might face obstacles from selling at holiday <br />markets in other cities. Often, craft fairs vendors are juried and may <br />exclude artists from our community in favor of more commercially viable <br />options. Where our neighborhood families might not be able to travel easily <br />to areas within Southern California to display their works, by creating this <br />marketplace in their backyard, local artisans can easily access a place to <br />do business. <br />By showcasing local entertainment, we can enhance our marketplace with <br />music and dance that will allow all of our attendees to experience the <br />festive season. By giving our artists a place to perform and an audience of <br />500, we can provide opportunities to be seen and included. <br />Because we want to provide a magical, holiday wonderland, we feel that <br />just a few light strands will not achieve our vision. Providing our neighbors <br />with a comprehensive light display will truly leave them inspired. We want <br />this to be a destination for families to interact, meet with other members of <br />the community, and be proud of their marketplace. A beautifully decorated <br />area will dazzle both adults and children alike, and give them a magical, <br />holiday market experience that they can enjoy safely. <br />Finally, we seek to transform this into an annual event that attracts more <br />and more participants. We hope that attendees from outside the community <br />would be drawn to our marketplace to witness the quality and beauty of our <br />neighborhood's art and culture. <br />Amount Requested 14844.0 <br />Proposed Use of Entertainment honoraria: 10 performers @ $200 each $2,000 <br />Funds Equipment rentals: canopies, lights, tables, linens, chairs $9,400 <br />Insurance $500 <br />Permits $438 <br />Decorations $1,706 <br />Miscellaneous supplies (children's activities, crafts, extension cords, etc.) <br />$800 <br />TOTAL $14, 844 <br />
