The <br />purpose of developing an Arts and Culture Master Plan is to create a common vision for the role <br />that arts and culture should play in Santa Ana, as well as to ascertain what pieces of that vision <br />can guide policy and programming to enhance the quality of life for Santa Ana residents, <br />businesses and visitors. On May 5, 2015, City Council approved the agreement with the Cultural <br />Planning Group (CPG) to develop the City-wide Arts and Culture Master Plan. <br />The development of the Arts and Culture Master Plan included three phases: Community <br />Engagement and Research; Santa Ana Arts and Culture Master Plan Development; and Santa <br />Ana Arts and Culture Master Plan Presentation and Approvals. <br />The methods used to develop the Arts and Culture Master Plan included a strong community <br />engagement component to ensure public participation. This included a community survey, <br />community-based discussions, meetings and individual interviews with artists and other <br />community stakeholders, and Town Hall meetings. Approximately 1,000 individuals from the City <br />participated in the development of the Arts & Culture Master Plan. <br />A steering committee composed of community stakeholders was also formed to help guide this <br />process. There were eight official site visits by CPG and four supplemental site visits by their sub - <br />consultant. During these visits, CPG met with residents and stakeholder groups, including elected <br />and appointed City officials, community leaders, business leaders, faith leaders, education <br />leaders, artists, local arts providers, youth and senior groups, and potential funding partners. <br />Additional details are provided in the Community Engagement Report (Exhibit 1). <br />65B-1 <br />
