Zuniga, Diana <br />From: Adriana Yazmin Martinez < <br />Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2025 3:19 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Arts Funding <br />Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Greetings, <br />My name is Adriana Martinez and I am an artist who has participated in the city of Santa Ana for more than a <br />decade. Bringing programing and free art material to the SA community. I am asking for more funding for the <br />arts. As someone who is out here doing the work, spending time in the community there is a real need for the <br />funding to continue but also expand. The city of Santa Ana is greatly underserved, there is only one library that <br />offers programming. As someone who has benefited from the grants and used it to work with the senior <br />population, I can tell you that they are also greatly underserved. <br />The city of Santa Ana needs continuous funding and opportunities for aspiring artists. As a muralist, we need <br />more funding to restore murals that have greatly added to the cityscape of SA. When you invest in the artist we <br />are able to pay that forward 1 OX fold. I ask that you invest in us so that we may serve the community you claim <br />to serve. Thank you for your attention. <br />Adriana Martinez <br />
