Santa Ana <br />'OMrnunity <br />Artist (a) <br />CO} LITION <br />Attn.: Santa Ana Arts Grant Review Committee <br />re: Roger Reyes (Eyes) art proposal <br />Dear Review Committee, <br />As a local community art organization that prides it self in connecting local artist to <br />their communities in a collaborative process to create art that transforms public <br />spaces, it is with great pleasure that we write this letter in support of Roger Reyes <br />(Eyes) for his funding proposal to facilitate new public art with traveling sculptures <br />through out Santa Ana through a community engagement model. <br />Roger is a seasoned local artist with an extensive resume he has shown great <br />growth, realizing projects that help strengthen sense of community. He has shown a <br />proven track record of professional skills, artistic talent and vision. He was a <br />lead artist for our 2015 grant recipient project a community mural in downtown <br />Santa Ana. He has lead art workshops for children and youth engaging the <br />community to participate in the art making process. As a lead artist for this project <br />he is also creating design and leading the mural painting. These assets make him <br />well prepared to not only receive the grant funding, but to be efficient and <br />responsible with the granted funds, and create beautiful public art for the city. <br />It is our believe that Roger has a successful artistic vision. He has shown a desire, <br />willingness and ability to complete and collaborate on big public art projects. <br />It is for all the reason listed above that I write enthusiastically and encourage the <br />Santa Ana Arts Grant Review Committee to award Roger Reyes (Eyes). <br />Sincerely, <br />Alicia Rojas <br />Community Artist and <br />Co -funder of The <br />Santa Ana Community Artist(a) Coalition <br />
