Ibarra, Evelyn From:RxEyes <alke_mist@yahoo.com> Sent:Tuesday, To:eComment Subject:Arts Funding - Item 30 Fiscal Year2024-25 Budget Work Study Session Attachments:PastedGraphic-2.tiff; SACAC log.webp Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Opportunities from our city are not the only name in the game but having my hometown back my art projects has made all the difference in the world. Options to create art projects for and with Santa Ana communities has made a huge impact in my art and my surroundings. Growing collaborations with my fellow contemporaries and community leaders/members has enriched my artistic career in so many vital ways; building friendships and bridges has enriched our communities in much larger ways. I couldn’t fathom these opportunities disappearing for our future generations of talent we’ve cultivated. Our city has long invested in it’s artists, and it’s easy for me to see it’s not done collecting on it’s returns and futures. Don’t make the mistake of pulling out so soon by putting an end to the artistic development for our communities and the success future generations. FUND THE ARTS city of Santa Ana We advocate for the city to fund artwalk directly every year. We advocate 1% funding to be given to the arts and culture budget from every new private development from the city. We advice fro the Arts and Culture Master plan to be funded Fully. We ask the city act proactively and request sponsorships and funding from outside the city like every other department does. And Request to review the current processes the Bowers Museum has.
