<br />Araiza, Fatima <br />From:Ali Coyle <alicoylemusic@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Thursday, <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Funding of the arts in Santa Ana <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 to make a public comment in support of robust arts funding that is fairly <br />distributed across the Arts and Culture Department in our city. <br /> <br />The experience and dedication of Santa Ana’s artist community is unmatched, and the funding <br />would allow for our beautiful and diverse art culture to thrive and bring vibrancy and growth to our <br />city. <br /> <br />The budget is a tedious puzzle, but I know that an audit of past spending and a reorganization of <br />funds will allow for a fair distribution. <br /> <br />I advocate for a budget of one million dollars to fund Arts and Culture, and that our city fund <br />events such as the Art Walk and Noche de Altares directly. <br /> <br />I request for the city to introduce a “1% for the arts” on all new and private development, and a fair <br />redirection of funds from The Bowers Museum to Santa Ana Arts and Culture. <br /> <br />Thank you for your hard work, time, and consideration. <br /> <br />Ali Coyle <br /> <br />-- <br />Ali Coyle <br />Singer, Songwriter, Instrumentalist <br />@alicoylemusic / www.alicoylemusic.com <br /> <br />“A first generation Irish-American artist, Ali Coyle creates poetic and moody music that speaks to your soul.” - Atwood Magazine <br /> <br />Press Inquiries to kershonam@gmail.com <br />1 <br />
