Over the last year, in addition to the scheduled teaching times at the community center, I have responded to several requests for free workshops throughout the city. As a result, providing free art, ceramic, and craft workshops has become a volunteer project of mine, The beginning phase has been well underway, students in both community center classes and outside workshops respond well to the curriculum that allows them to explore a variety of mediums and develop social and cognitive skills while they express their creativity through various activities. I would like to develop the project into something larger by proposing that a $4980.21 grant be used to purchase equipment, supplies, materials, a business license, and that a very small amount cover artist fees. My goals are to create a mobile art studio business and engage the community in Santa Ana's art and culture by providing free once a month art, craft, or ceramic workshops. The majority of the grant, $4,293.78, will purchase equipment to be used for art and ceramic classes as we as for personal and in home art and pottery production. The equipment list includes several essential items such as a kiln, portable potter's wheel, and educational tools to facilitate transportation and teaching. The kiln will be installed in my home, the portable potter's wheel will be used for teaching, demonstrations, and production at home, teaching tools will aid as visuals for students to reference to, and supplies be used for free workshops, Supplemental Question 1:: As described in the project budget $150 dollars will be used to purchase business license. I ask the City of Santa Ana for support with this project. Supplemental Question 2:: Since April 2014, 1 have been teaching ceramics and art classes as a contracted instructor at El Salvador Community Center for The City of Santa Ana Parks, Recreation, and Community Service Agency. In addition, many Santa Ana organizations, community groups, and residents have benefited from free ceramic, art, and craft workshops I have hosted throughout the city. It has been a pleasure to provide this for my community as I did not have art education resources growing up until I was twelve years old. Today, I have the opportunity to apply for this grant. I propose to include disadvantaged neighborhoods surrounding the downtown in Santa Ana's art and culture by providing once a month art, craft, or ceramic workshop. In addition to giving back to my community, I see the opportunity to build a mobile studio business that could economically sustain myself and the project. Supplemental Question 3:: The monthly workshops (12 total) will be hosted at various locations through out Wards 1, 2 and 5 for organizations and community groups who have provided space for workshops in the past. Workshops will be available and open to the public. Advertisement for workshops will shared on social media, posted on facilities where workshops will be hosted, and distributed in high traffic restaurants and community spaces.
