John D. Spiak <br />May 16, 2015 <br />attn: Santa Ana Arts Grant Review Committee <br />re: Santa Ana Community Artist(a) Coalition proposal <br />Dear Review Committee, <br />As a resident and individual working in the field of arts in Santa Ana, it is with <br />great pleasure that I write this letter in support of the Santa Ana Community <br />Artist(a) Coalition for their funding proposal to facilitate a new community mural <br />project through a community engagement model. <br />Observing their recent activities, outreach efforts and partnership building, Santa <br />Ana Community Artist(a) Coalition has been showing great growth, realizing <br />projects that help to strengthen sense of community. The core team of the <br />organization has shown a proven track record of professional and community <br />organization skills, artistic expertise and an ability of marketing their efforts to <br />build greater awareness. These assets make them well prepared to not only <br />receive Santa Ana Arts Grant funding, but to be efficient and responsible with <br />granted funds, as well create successful outcomes. <br />It is my belief that the Santa Ana Community Artist(a) Coalition is a positive <br />model for successful artistic approach within the Santa Ana community. They <br />have shown a desire, willingness and ability to reach into the community to <br />determine needs and to enlist the help of local organizations and community <br />members in working together to realize projects to their fullest potential. <br />It is for all the reason listed above that I write enthusiastically and strongly <br />encourage the Santa Ana Arts Grant Review Committee to award the Santa Ana <br />Community Artist(a) Coalition one of the inaugural 2015 grants. <br />Sincerely, <br />f <br />i <br />John D. Spiak <br />Santa Ana Resident, 92706 <br />
