Santa Ana <br /> Community <br /> Artist(a) <br /> Coalition <br /> • Community Engagement & Storytelling: <br /> o Apprentices will help conduct surveys and interviews with residents, gathering <br /> input on the mural's significance. <br /> o Engagement with elders, cultural historians, and local artists to document the <br /> stories behind the artwork. <br /> • Leadership & Professional Development: <br /> o Workshops on mural conservation ethics, artist rights, and public art project <br /> management. <br /> o One-on-one mentorship with lead artists and conservators, fostering artistic <br /> growth and career development. <br /> Our Experience with Mentorship & Mural Conservation <br /> SACAC has extensive experience in youth mentorship through public art projects, having <br /> worked with SAUSD students on the restoration of two Sergio O'Cadiz murals at Fremont and <br /> Monroe Elementary Schools. These projects provided apprentices with technical training, <br /> professional development, and a deepened connection to their cultural heritage. <br /> By engaging emerging artists in the restoration of the 2016 SACAC mural, led by Alicia Rojas <br /> and Roger Reyes, we ensure that the next generation of artists carries forward the legacy of <br /> Chicano, immigrant, and community-driven art in Santa Ana. This project is not just about <br /> restoring a mural—it's about restoring history, identity, and collective memory. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> iA�_ <br /> Alicia Rojas <br /> Director <br /> Santa Ana Community Artist(a) Coalition <br />
