Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear Mayor and City Council Members- <br /> <br />My name is Delilah Snell, I have been a business owner, activist and a community person who cares for our city and <br />especially downtown for many years. <br />I am writing to you today to make a comment for robust arts funding for this city. How can we call ourselves an creative <br />downtown, city that supports creatives and artists and no longer support them? Is it true that Bowers receives 2MIL a <br />year?? I appreciate this space, but as I have been told by many of my customers, that they are very expensive....at times, <br />more that they have experienced at other museums. <br />Why is so much money going directly to one entity? Can not a small portion be directed to other art outlets that make <br />our city a center with many creative outlets to explore that make the city rich and diverse? The arts and support of <br />creative spaces is what revived the downtown years ago and now it is on the brink of failing...our leadership needs to <br />realize this is an important part of our community and economy. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time. <br /> <br />- Delilah <br /> <br />-- <br />¡Salud! <br /> <br />Alta Baja Market <br />Market + cafe celebrating the flavors above and below the US//MX border <br />Order our book: Beginner's Guide to Preserving <br />201 E. 4th St, ste 101 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />714.783.2252 (BAJA) <br />@altabajamarket <br />1 <br />
