Santa Ana Arts Future <br />Community Arts and Cultural Master Plan <br />A Literary and Writers Festival, anchored by a book fair, encouraging reading and <br />writing, keynoted by a local "Big Read" style project, in which everyone is reading a <br />selection that is Santa Ana centric. One example is One Book San Diego. <br />A Music Festival with multiple venues throughout the city in traditional and non- <br />traditional settings. <br />A Jazz Festival presented over several days in different venues, including workshops, <br />lectures, and films. <br />A Fringe Festival (Arts for the People) with programming throughout Santa Ana <br />highlighting many genres and peoples including professional and avocational artists and <br />artisans. <br />Recommendation 4.1: Develop a Neighborhood Arts Program facilitating arts and creative <br />opportunities for every neighborhood and community group, ensuring equitable distribution of <br />resources. <br />Initiative 4.1.1: Create a City grants category for qualified organizations to provide youth arts programs <br />after school or on weekends. Funded programs would require one arts organization, one community <br />organization and at least one experienced teaching artist. City funding should require at least a 1:1 cash <br />match to encourage community ownership and leverage City resources. <br />Initiative 4.1.2: Expand programming in the libraries, the Teen Center, and community centers by <br />developing small-scale arts and creative activities reflecting local interests. Provide staff training to <br />support and facilitate these activities and identify underutilized community facilities for programming and <br />transportation options. Program locations, days, and times should accommodate the wider community. <br />Initiative 4.1.3: Engage qualified artists to provide programming in neighborhood settings for all ages as <br />well as with homeless persons, veterans, and disabled. <br />Initiative 4.1.4: Support creation of a mobile arts program that moves throughout the city like a book <br />mobile. <br />Initiative 4.1.5: Explore the use of underutilized facilities to serve as arts centers for neighborhood arts <br />programs. Provide incentives for their use with community arts programming. <br />implementation Lead: City Community Development Agency <br />Implementation Partners: SAUSD, Garden Grove Unified, Santa Ana College, Santa Ana Public Library <br />and Teen Center, nonprofit arts organizations and businesses, health & human service nonprofits and <br />veterans group. <br />Timeline: Mid -Term (Years 4-7) <br />Resources: Redirection of existing budget line items, staff time for program development and logistics <br />as well as for preparing proposals to potential funding agencies. <br />Metrics: Evidence of program implementation and increasing levels of community participation when <br />surveyed annually. <br />Recommendation 4.2: Create a lifelong learning programming that is available to underserved <br />constituencies including homeless, veterans, seniors, and disabled populations. <br />Initiative 4.2.1: Work to develop a veterans and seniors program providing discount tickets, discount art <br />supplies and materials, access to venues and transportation, and scholarships to workshops and <br />classes. <br />31 <br />65B-35 <br />
