Working side-by-side with Santa Ana artists, creative youth teams produce engaging works of art/public art events that are meaningful to both the teens and the neighborhood. Our goal is to collaborate, create art and impact community. We empower individuals and communities to create positive change through the visual arts and other art forms that embraces and celebrate communities. The Collaborators are Brian Peterson/Faces of Santa Ana (FOSA), Vicky Otero/Inspyr Arts, Joey Linnert/New Earth Life (NEL), Nellie LeGaspe —First American Arts Foundation (FAAF), and Johnathan Hernandez/Santa Ana Unidos Arts.

The creative process of creating the murals, masks and portraits are also part of the project. A large canvas roll will be provided for participants to paint in silhouettes and other images connecting/intersecting one another. Participants will use colors, patterns, shapes and lines that represent their pride, roots, experiences, hopes dreams etc. Roses will be adorned around and in the mural to represent the beautiful possibilities of the Santa Ana's youth. Participants will write about their artistic contribution to the mural and it's meaning. The result will be six 5' x 9' youth murals representative of various Santa Ana neighborhoods. The intersecting silhouettes represents our connection with our neighbors and communities. Brian Peterson/Faces of Santa Ana will paint five portraits of faces of Santa Ana. The art carries the power to love, humanize, and share stories that support positive support for our residents. Brian will befriend and paint portraits that will reveal the beauty and underappreciated assets of our city. We draw our inspiration from the Tupac Shakar poem called The Rose that Grew from Concrete, "Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?... Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared." The five portraits will be displayed at our final presentation event with stories. Joey Linnert will create living art sculptures at the final event form organic materials gathering from local neighborhoods and presented at the final presentation.

As a new earth artist, Joey provides mentor -based arts, educational, and vocational programs that empower juvenile justice and system involved youth ages 13-25 to transform their lives, move toward positive, healthier life choices, and realize their full potential as contributing members of our community. Joey lives in Santa Ana and teaches the community to develop community farms and change the local food system to prevent hunger and connect communities to health nurturing lifestyles.

Supplemental Question 1: Please describe any additional City of Santa Ana resources required for your project (permits, public space, licenses etc.)?: We do not anticipate that we will need permits. We are planning on using private and public facilities that are accessible to the public. We also checked with property owners and city park personnel. We also discussed this with the Director of the Artwalk who endorses our project. For the living art creation project using organic materials, we will use existing community gardens at Jerome Park, EI Salvador Park, Angels Park, and Madison Park. The final presentation will be held at Delhi Community Center in October. We will rent the facility for the final event and they have appropriate licenses and permits. The fee is included in our budget. The project is mobile and can be installed where are invited for an exhibition. Supplemental Question 2: Is this a new or existing program/project?: YAC is proposing that this is a new collaborative comprised of established Santa Ana artists who use different mediums that includes public gatherings with audience participation. The artists and organizations are supported by other funding but lack resources for this project. The artists and organizations create art and engage the community in the creative process. We decided to work together to bring art out into neighborhoods instead having residents having to venture into the artist village which at times make the neighborhoods feel no connectivity with the art community. YAC wanted take art out into the community and have the community look at their neighborhood through the eyes of artists and see the hidden beauty. This changes the neighborhood's relationship with themselves, their families and their neighborhood. We want residents to work with our artists to reveal the beauty in our underserved neighborhoods. Supplemental Question 3: How will the proposed project be presented or shared with the public? Will the art display, event or performance be free and accessible to the public?: The project will be free and shared with the community. We contacted neighborhood associations and youth programs to work as community partners such as: Artesia Pilar, Delhi, Riverview West, Santa Nita, Lacy/Garfield, & Cambodian Family are just a few of or partners. They are very excited about the project. The YAC creative and artistic community engagement process will be similar to this one specific example with minor modifications tailored to the neighborhood: YAC will work with The MIX Academy at Newsong operated by Lambert Lo. It's a large gathering of about 300 students from Santa Ana. Volunteers teach free classes where youth can sign up. Classes includes art. Brian will work with Lambert to identify a youth to be painted. Inspyr will assist the youths to create a mural with a topic they chose. It will be stored and reused again and again. It will be shared and presented to the public during and after the creation process. The public will be encouraged to engage and co -create the project. The results will be shown at the final event and will also be accessible to the public at the final viewing and presentation where all the neighborhood participants will gather for a celebration and unveiling of all the neighborhood murals, living art, portraits, and masks. We will invite musicians from the community to perform. We will invite other artists to reflect and talk about the result, art and community. We anticipate and working on finding a space where it can be view more for longer periods later. We have several places for one time showing. We have several options for the living organic art piece. For example, the Blue Lot (old Cadillac Property) could be made into living art piece. It is also an ideal venue at which the murals could be presented. We have connected with Ruben Salazar, the curator of the Blue Lot, who is open to this idea. Parke Familias Corazones Verdes on 4th St. is also another possible venue. I am connected with Laura Pantoja, the director of the location. Delhi Community Center is our fall back. Supplemental Question 4: How will this project enrich the Santa Ana arts and culture community?: The project is experiential and embraces Henri -Robert -Marcel Duchamp and the Da Da movement. The exhibition will be an active and interactive piece of art that explores and captures the faces of Santa Ana where they live, work and play. The city reveals itself through paintings, murals and photographs and video. The project will impact not only the Santa Ana art and cultural community but it will grow out from its community roots embracing the art and making it theirs. Everyone benefits. It will demonstrate the power art carries in storytelling and demonstrate that we can use our gifts to give back to others. The "Connected" portion of the Rose in the Concrete event will be a great way to engage youth from all over Santa Ana and provides them with a kinesthetic, artistic, creative way to voice their unique neighborhoods and cultures. This will be an enriching opportunity for the Santa Ana Arts community as it helps create a Santa Ana youth led public art display. The living art reveals the aesthetic value and beauty of art grown and gathered from the neighborhood and turned into art. It is art that continues to grow and rooted in the community at the same time and nurtured and then blossoms to unveil messages to live healthy which is a strategic goal of the City. These traditional ways harken to indigenous cultural customs from around the world. Connecting with the earth facilitates connection with one's roots. One practices the art of living by creating living art installations. Our project will have city residents stop and appreciate the roses in concrete in our city. Our mural can travel and be exhibited and can be used to promote the arts to the neighborhoods and involve them. More important, we are making a statement of change and transformation. Often, we focus on the violence or crimes in our city. We ignore the good things that goes unrecognized. The project is a creative act declaring that Art cares, Art is revolution, Art is culture, and Art is healing.

ARTESIA PILAR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION 2234 NORTH PACIFIC AVE SANTA ANA, CA 92706 April 28, 2017 To Investing in Artists: The Artesia Pillar neighborhood is an old neighborhood that is struggling to reverse our decline. It was the neighborhood that found a notorious gang, F Troop that expanded all over Santa Ana. It is also the home to a historic wall mural on Civic Center Drive that highlighted a summit of the neighborhoods coming together to honor those who were killed in drive by but also a call for peace. That mural connects us to tragic events in the past that we are neighborhood leaders try to overcome and inspire others to make our neighborhood batter. That primitive artwork embodies our hope and dreams while tapping into our spirit. The Artesia Pillar Neighborhood Association (APNA) has been active for over 30 years. As President and relative to some of the mural artists, it is with great pleasure that we enthusiastically endorse and support the application for funding by Santa Unidos and the Youth Arts Collaborative for their Faces of Santa Ana Project: Roses in Concrete mobile mural project and community living art creations. Often, we feel left out of the downtown art scene. It appears remote and inaccessible. It is gratifying to know that the Youth Art Collaborative is bring artists to our neighborhood and assist to create art that will shine a light on the good things that happen every day that goes unappreciated. Yes, we have problem but we are united in solving them. We enjoy collaborating and learning. For this project, we have the students from three elementary schools, one middle school and El Salvador Community Center to draw youth to participate. We are excited because at the same time, we hope to organize a group to repair the wall and mural that is on our wall on Civic Center. It is really innovative that the YAC has chosen to make a mobile mural on canvas that is connected with other neighborhoods. I spoke to several other associations that excited about participating. Also, I am glad that our neighborhood garden will be linked to other neighborhood gardens in a living art piece. We plan to recruit volunteers and participants and to recommend stories. We feel that art projects that engages and involve the community with have an impact on the art community as well as our neighborhoods. It would go a long way to make art accessible and inclusive. We have stories of triumphs and success that needs to be celebrated. This project will do that and more. We urge you to approve the Youth Arts Collaborative for $10,000 in funding. Thank you for your consideration.
