Working side-by-side with Santa Ana artists, creative youth teams <br />produce engaging works of art/public art events that are meaningful to both the teens and the <br />neighborhood. Our goal is to collaborate, create art and impact community. We empower <br />individuals and communities to create positive change through the visual arts and other art <br />forms that embraces and celebrate communities. <br />The Collaborators are Brian Peterson/Faces of Santa Ana (FOSA), Vicky Otero/Inspyr <br />Arts, Joey Linnert/New Earth Life (NEL), Nellie LeGaspe —First American Arts Foundation <br />(FAAF), and Johnathan Hernandez/Santa Ana Unidos Arts. Other artists will be recruited to <br />work with key collaborators and to engage and inspire community participants. <br />The Youth Art Collaborative (YAC) will facilitate youth and their families to create mural <br />paintings on canvas at community art engagement events. The creative process of creating the <br />murals, masks and portraits are also part of the project. A large canvas roll will be provided for <br />participants to paint in silhouettes and other images connecting/intersecting one another. <br />Participants will use colors, patterns, shapes and lines that represent their pride, roots, <br />experiences, hopes dreams etc. Roses will be adorned around and in the mural to represent <br />the beautiful possibilities of the Santa Ana's youth. Participants will write about their artistic <br />contribution to the mural and it's meaning. The result will be six 5' x 9' youth murals <br />representative of various Santa Ana neighborhoods. The intersecting silhouettes represents our <br />connection with our neighbors and communities. <br />Brian Peterson/Faces of Santa Ana will paint five portraits of faces of Santa Ana. The art <br />
