<br />Araiza, Fatima <br />From:RxEyes <alke_mist@yahoo.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Arts Funding - Item 30 Fiscal Year2024-25 Budget Work Study Session <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> <br /> <br />I am writing to advocate for the fair funding of the arts in Santa Ana. Earning options and artistic support from my hometown of Santa <br />Ana has made all the difference in the world. Opportunities to create art projects for and with Santa Ana communities has made a huge <br />impact in my art and my surroundings. Growing collaborations with my fellow contemporaries and community leaders/members has <br />enriched my artistic career in so many vital ways; building friendships and bridges has enriched our communities in much larger ways. <br />I couldn’t fathom these opportunities disappearing for our future generations of talent we’ve cultivated. <br />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 <br />mistake of pulling out so soon by putting an end to the artistic development for our communities and the success future generations. <br /> <br />We are asking you to please FUND THE ARTS city of Santa Ana. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Do the Right Thing, <br /> <br />Rogelio Reyes bka Roger Eyes R <br />Santa Ana Resident & business owner <br />multidisciplinary artist in residency at CSFU’s Grand Central Art Center <br />Art Director Santa Ana Community Artista Coalition <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
