<br />Araiza, Fatima <br />From:Jeff Jensen <jj@chapteronetml.com> <br />Sent:Monday, May <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Arts Funding- Item 30 FY 24-25 Budget work study session <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Good Evening City Council and Staff, <br /> <br /> <br />Fully fund Artwalk. Downtown Santa Ana & the Artist village will not be what it is without the Artwalk. Not <br />sure why this monthly event is not already a fully funded item from the city since it has big potential to draw <br />huge crowds and generate tax revenue.Also, we need to make sure we are not ticketing everyone visiting <br />Downtown for events like Artwalk, Tamale Fest and City De Mayo. These events bring people in that may have <br />never been down here before and WE WANT THEM TO COME BACK. <br /> <br />Bowers funding. Relook at the money going to the Bowers. Take a look into the vendors that they are using that <br />are not from Santa Ana and paying with the money they are getting from Santa Ana. <br /> <br />Fund the arts culture master plan. 2015-2025. <br /> <br />Fund the Artist grants and event sponsorships with at least 1 million. This will put a spotlight on the upcoming <br />artists from the local area and start economic development with different events that can be curated here in our <br />own city before other cities pick up what we stop doing. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br /> <br />JJ <br /> <br />Jeffrey Jensen <br />Chapter One: the modern local <br />227 N.
