Brief Description of Project:
The Santa Ana Community Artist(a) Coalition (aka "the Coalition ") proposes to
undertake the creation of a 60 feet wide by 19 feet high community mural located at the
"Art Alley ". A public street alley between N. Bush St. and N. Main St. Behind 4th St. in
downtown Santa Ana; to engage local artists, youth, business, and residents in a
collaborative and transformational art- making process.
The mural itself will be composed of images gathered through and inspired by a
wide - reaching community interview process, with the final work of art representing the
dreams and aspirations of the Santa Ana Community.
Type of Application::
Artist based in Santa Ana
EXHIBIT A
Need::

Equipment, Materials & Supply,Other
If other please state below.
Some of the funds will be utilized for:

Artist Development
(Museum Field Trips, Mural sightseeing field trips and books)
Modest Artist Stipends
(Gas, Food, Time)
Artist Statement:
The Coalition is a grassroots collaborative effort which came together in June of 2013
specifically for the purpose of creating community- based, community- driven mural arts
projects in the City of Santa Ana.
As Downtown Santa Ana continues to undergo a number of important transformations,
it's essential that local residents, organizations, and businesses take a role in the
process and express their voices about the future of their city. The Coalition has had
meetings with several community groups to discuss the mural vision, and the resultant
conversations have opened up a sincere and meaningful dialog in the community. This
is something which we've welcomed and actively engaged in, because we believe this
kind of dialog represents a significant step in the direction of respect, open - mindedness,
understanding, and ultimately cooperation.
The Coalitions first Community Mural Project was completed in November of 2013 over
25 local artists contributed to the mural and over 300 community members where part of
the survey, design and implementation process.
The mission of the Santa Ana Community Artist(a) Coalition is to connect local artists to
their communities in a collaborative process to create art that transforms public spaces,
generates civic engagement, and promotes personal and social change.
Narrative for proposed use of funds::
For Investing in the Artist Grant the Coalition proposes to facilitate a new Community
Mural Project in Downtown Santa Ana the mural is created through a community
process that, at the specific site, engages Santa Ana residents, youth, business, and
artists at all stages of the mural process — from idea to paint — resulting in truly
collaborative and place -based art- making.
Our Community Engagement Model supports and invests in the community as artists
and artists as community catalysts and leaders.
The proposed funds would be used for all phases of the project
Community Engagement and Planning:
Through an extensive Community Survey process, community members' stories and
ideas actually form the foundation of the mural concept. We have already undertaken
this step at the mural site, with over 200 bilingual surveys conducted to date asking
people about what they dream of and what images would they like to see in the mural.
We organize different community engagement workshops for all ages through out the
completion of the project. Materials for these are needed like (Roll - paper, Pens,
Pencils, Color Pencils, Paint, Brushes, etc.)
Funds would also be used for creating awareness and increase participation through
(Flyers, Posters, Copies for surveys, etc.)
Community events will also take place during art walk (day -time) that engage families
and kids into making arts and crafts and also participate in events like, spoken word,
street theater, community - painting day, rental equipment will be needed like
(Microphones, sound system, stage, lights, etc.)
We recognize all project participants as full artistic contributors to the project. This
includes artists and non - artists, experienced artists and youth artists — everyone has an
artistic voice and an equal place at the table in project planning for the mural. We hold
bi- weekly, open planning meetings for that purpose.
Artist Development: We also offer open, project -based art workshops that build
foundational knowledge in technical aspects of mural painting. This not only helps
more experienced artists refine their expertise, but it also helps project participants of
any skill level — some who have never considered themselves as artists — gain the
confidence and the tools to contribute to painting a mural. Workshops are facilitated by
one of art mentors "Master Muralist" Emigdio "Higgy" Vasquez Jr. and Art Director
Moises Camacho of MCGallery.
Because we also want to enrich our artist with mural history we would use the funds for
(Museum and Mural field trips and books.)
Mural Materials and Equipment:
The wall site is 1,140 ft 2 roughly 60 feet wide by 19 feet high. We will need scaffolding,
safety equipment, paint and painting supplies.
Operations Costs: Permits, fees, insurance and modest artist stipends for food, gas and
time
The Project Art Director is Moises Camacho, a Santa Ana gallery owner and "Master
Muralist" with extensive mural experience both internationally and locally. The Project
Director is local community artist Alicia Rojas. Both are longtime Santa Ana creative
leaders with specialized experience in murals and in the administration of
community -based art projects, respectively.
Supplemental Question 1::
Since the location of the mural shares a private wall with a public space (the alley) we
will need permits to set up scaffolding, street closures, permits for community
engagement events at the Alley and insurance costs.
Supplemental Question 2::
This is the Coalition's second community mural project. Our first community mural
concluded in November of 2013, behind the historic MACRES Flower shop located on
5th and Sycamore St.
For this current community mural located in the "Art Alley" between N.Main St and N.
Bush st behind 4th st. We have begun the Community Engagement and Planning
phase, conducting over 200 bilingual surveys to date asking the surrounding community
about what they love about Santa Ana. We have also organized 4 community
engagement events to date. Events have been held during the daytime on the April art
walk and on two consecutive Sundays in May. And we just participated in Patchworks
Show Santa Ana, conducting interviews and informing locals about the upcoming
community mural.
Our next community engagement event will take place during June Art Walk (day -time)
The Coalition will also showcase artists work in the alley converting it to an outside
grassroots gallery during Art Walk Night!
We are passionate about community engagement in every phase of the process of
mural making. We truly believe that art making should be a fun collaborative process
that can instigate personal growth and empower the community of Santa Ana.
Supplemental Question 3::
We will start by asking the question, "What do you dream of ?" or "En que suenas ?"
(The question will be posed in both English and Spanish to invite bilingual participation.)
Through outreach and events, community members will have the opportunity to answer
that question, sharing their thoughts and ideas with us by writing or drawing on the wall
itself using chalk. The lead muralists involved will then incorporate those words,
stories, and ideas into the mural concept. There will also be opportunities for youth
artists to take part in the actual painting, thereby forming a mentor relationship between
aspiring and experienced artists and training a new generation of community artists.
The mural will be painted in sections, with the opportunity for further community input
after each section is completed. In this way, the community will get to actually
influence the course of the mural as it is being painted.
The project will be open to community participation. We invite anyone and everyone—
especially people who have never participated in something like this — to come share
their dreams with us. We also plan to reach out to some of our associates and
partners from past projects — TeenSpace at the Santa Ana Public Library, KidWorks,
Santa Ana Boys and Men of Color, Building Healthy Communities, Santa Ana College
Upward Bound — in order to increase community participation.
We have also organized 4 community engagement events to date at the site of the
future community mural. All events are free and all ages.
We hope to continue our community engagement process via events until the
completion of the mural when we will hold a grand celebration for all the community and
all the artists that collaborated in the mural making process!
Supplemental Question 4::
We strive to create structures for broad and meaningful participation in our mural
projects. People contribute to propelling the project in a variety of ways, each role as
important as the next: mentorship from professional artists, resources from donors and
investors, and volunteers providing creative ideas, input, time and effort fulfilling and
facilitating the project's execution.
We put theory into practice and implement a model of "cascading vitality" that focuses
on the internal empowerment of people within the organization as the source of positive
energy that flows to and empowers members of the public: "Vital organizations exude
positive energy that nurtures and supports the growth and development of the people
within the organization and fuels the collective work of the organization" (Feldman and
Khademian 2003).
• For the mural, a Core Team is selected; many team members have in the past
considered themselves "just" and artist and not a leader, "just" someone who volunteers
and not an artist, etc. The Core Team has the responsibility of facilitating, listening,
having conversations, and then serving as a catalyst for a community vision. They are
well - supported by a team who can consult on matters of muralism, history, art
administration, organizational skills, budgeting and financial issues, youth involvement,
and other topics that may come up. By investing in new leadership and empowering
them to lead each effort, we nurture emerging arts and community leaders who might
not otherwise have had the opportunity to shine.
We actively recruit new participants for the new Community Mural at the "Art Alley ", and
participation is open to all interested community members in all phases of the project.
We have already reached out and plan to connect with a wide range of community
groups in order to increase community participation. These include: the Santa Ana
Business Council, the Mexican Consulate, TeenSpace at the Santa Ana Public Library,
and Santa Ana College Upward Bound, among many others.
In the end the City of Santa Ana will have new public art project to celebrate. A new
community mural to enhance our downtown, and a symbol of pride and collaboration for
all those that participated in the project.

great pleasure that I write this letter in support of the Santa Ana Community
Artist(a) Coalition for their funding proposal to facilitate a new community mural
project through a community engagement model.
Observing their recent activities, outreach efforts and partnership building, Santa
Ana Community Artist(a) Coalition has been showing great growth, realizing
projects that help to strengthen sense of community. The core team of the
organization has shown a proven track record of professional and community
organization skills, artistic expertise and an ability of marketing their efforts to
build greater awareness. These assets make them well prepared to not only
receive Santa Ana Arts Grant funding, but to be efficient and responsible with
granted funds, as well create successful outcomes.
It is my belief that the Santa Ana Community Artist(a) Coalition is a positive
model for successful artistic approach within the Santa Ana community. They
have shown a desire, willingness and ability to reach into the community to
determine needs and to enlist the help of local organizations and community
members in working together to realize projects to their fullest potential.
It is for all the reason listed above that I write enthusiastically and strongly
encourage the Santa Ana Arts Grant Review Committee to award the Santa Ana
Community Artist(a) Coalition one of the inaugural 2015 grants.
Sincerely,
f
