Santa Ana Arts Future <br />Engagement Findings Report <br />Thirty-one percent (31 %) of the respondents reported having children under the age of 18 <br />in their households. Respondents want to see more creative activities offered in the <br />community for both themselves for children. The top choices are music, visual arts, <br />dance/movement, and culinary arts classes. Younger respondents (21-44 years) and <br />females desire dance/movement classes more than older or male respondents and <br />younger respondents (under 34 years) want digital arts classes significantly more than <br />others. This provides an opportunity to review the commonalities for community classes <br />and activities with respect to places, times, and individual versus family options. For <br />example, individual adults and families with children are highly interested in visual arts <br />classes and culinary arts classes. <br />Desired Activities/Classes <br />Music <br />Visual Arts <br />Dance/Movement <br />+For Children <br />Culinary Arts <br />-=For Themselves Theater/Drama <br />" 2 <br />Voice/Singing <br />Digital Arts; <br />Filmmaking/Video <br />--. <br />Traditional/Artisan <br />Creative/Writing/Poetry/Spoken Word <br />0 <br />When asked what obstacles the respondents experience in attending arts and cultural <br />activities, the most prevalent barriers, cited by 62% and 42% respectively, are that people <br />do not hear about activities and events and are challenged with traffic and parking. Other <br />barriers include affordability of events and inconvenient schedules (25%), and feeling <br />welcome and comfortable at venues and events (20%). For those with children, the primary <br />barriers are affordability of activities for their children (significantly for Latinos) and the <br />availability of affordable childcare (significantly for Latinos and residents 35-44 years of <br />age). Work commitments are a significant barrier to participation for families (31 %). <br />16 <br />65B-61 <br />
