<br />Ibarra, Evelyn <br />From:ray vargas <rvargas3@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, May <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Arts Funding - Item 30 Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget Work Study Session <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Mayor and city council, <br /> <br />I am writing to you today to make a public comment in support of robust arts funding in our city. I am an artist and <br />resident of Santa Ana that hopes the city will choose to allocate at least 1 million dollars of funding to Artist Grants and <br />events. Art Walk is a great example of a popular local event that brings so much to the community and should be <br />completely funded by the city every year. <br /> <br />Santa Ana is a vibrant creative community, home to many artists like myself, and we ask that our city chooses to support <br />our work by allocating funds proportionate to other cities, whose arts funding dwarfs our own. <br /> <br />Best, <br /> <br /> <br />Ray Vargas <br /> <br />www.ramonvargasart.com <br />1 <br />
