THE FESTIVAL CURATES DIVERSE AND EVOCATIVE WRITERS, POETS, STORYTELLERS, AND ARTISTS WHO PRESENT THEIR WORK THROUGH LITERARY READINGS, WORKSHOPS, PANEL DISCUSSIONS, POETRY SLAMS, SPOKEN WORD STYLES, AND MYRIAD VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS EXPERIENCES. BOCA DE ORO BROUGHT TOGETHER 100 AUTHORS, 3,100 VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTISTS, AND 3,000 SANTA ANA UNIFIED STUDENT PERFORMERS/CONTRIBUTORS TO PRESENT A DIVERSE PROGRAM DESIGNED TO INCREASE COMMUNITY ACCESSIBILITY AND LITERACY IN THE ARTS. AFTER PIVOTING TO A VIRTUAL FESTIVAL IN 2021, THE BOCA DE ORO FESTIVAL OF LITERARY, VISUAL & PERFORMING ARTS ROARED BACK IN-PERSON THIS YEAR. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT'S SUPPORT OF BOCA DE ORO INCLUDES SPONSORSHIP OF ARTISTS AND SPECIAL GUESTS, INCLUDING A UK ARTIST WHO CREATED A BRILLIANT MURAL THAT PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE UKRAINIAN COMMUNITY.COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ALSO FUNDS THE WORK OF A CREATIVE IN SAN JOSE, CA WHO DIRECTS AND ENGAGES OUTSIDE ARTISTS FOR MURAL AND OTHER IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL COMMUNITY EVENTS AT SEVERAL AFFORDABLE APARTMENT PROPERTIES IN THE CITY. AMONG THE MONTHLY EVENTS SHE CURATED IN 2022, THE CREATIVE AND A LOCAL ARTIST CREATED A SPECIAL EVENT CENTERED AROUND THE LEGEND OF LA CIEBA, THE SACRED TREE OF THE MAYA THAT IS BELIEVED TO BE THE CONNECTOR BETWEEN THE UNDERWORLD, EARTH AND HEAVEN. THE EVENING PROVIDED RESIDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECTIVELY SHARE POETRY AND STORIES ABOUT THEIR LOVED ONES WHO HAD PASSED, RECALL PRECIOUS MEMORIES, AND CELEBRATE THEIR LIVES. SEVERAL RESIDENTS READ THEIR POEMS IN FRONT OF THE GROUP, AND OTHERS SHARED THEIR MEMORIES ONE-ON-ONE. ALL WERE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISPLAY THEIR POEMS AND STORIES WHERE THEY CAN BE REFLECTED ON AND ADDED TO IN THE FUTURE. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SPONSORED THE FEEL BETTER COMMUNITY'S OUTREACH BY PROVIDING FREE YOGA CLASSES IN AFFORDABLE APARTMENTS. DURING COVID, THE PROGRAM QUICKLY SHIFTED TO VIRTUAL CLASSES/EVENTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA TO HELP RESIDENTS COPE WITH MONTHS OF LOCKDOWNS DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. IN 2022, THE FEEL BETTER COMMUNITY CONTINUED THEIR WORK IN SENIOR APARTMENTS WITH VIRTUAL CLASSES. 40368 25500 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT SUPPORTING ARTISTS AND COMMUNITY-ENGAGED ART PROJECTS ARE CRITICAL TO FOSTERING A VIBRANT, MORE CONNECTED SOCIETY. WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROVIDING GRANTS THAT SUPPORT INDEPENDENT ARTISTS AND CREATIVES AND THEIR COMMUNITY-ENGAGED PROJECTS. ONE OF OUR PRIMARY INITIATIVES IS OUR ARTISTS & CREATIVES GRANTS, WHICH AWARDS FUNDING TO THOSE PARTICULARLY IN MINORITY OR LGBQT COMMUNITIES MAKING OR PRESENTING CREATIVE WORK RELATING TO OR ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THESE PROJECTS ARE DIVERSE AND IMPACTFUL, SUCH AS PUBLIC MURALS THAT EXPRESS A COMMUNITY'S VOICE, VIDEOS AND PHOTOS THAT CAPTURE A COMMUNITY'S STORIES, AND INNOVATIVE WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS WHERE COMMUNITIES CAN CONNECT THROUGH SHARED CREATIVE EXPERIENCES. IN 2022, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AWARDED 10 ARTISTS/CREATIVES WITH INDIVIDUAL GRANTS RANGING FROM $1,500 TO $5,000. SINCE OUR INCEPTION, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HAS AWARDED INDIVIDUAL GRANTS TO 231 ARTISTS AND CREATIVES IN ITS COMMUNITIES, INCLUDING MANY WHO HAVE HISTORICALLY HAD LESS ACCESS TO TRADITIONAL ARTS FUNDING. THESE TALENTED INDEPENDENT CREATIVES AND ARTIST COLLECTIVES ARE PRESENTING ART THAT ENGAGES COMMUNITIES IN NEW, DISTINCT AND IMAGINATIVE WAYS. 34690 CREATIVES-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM, CONCEIVED IN COOPERATION WITH GRAND CENTRAL ART CENTER, BROADENS THE TRADITIONAL DEFINITION OF COMMUNITY BUILDING AND ARTIST RESIDENCIES. THE PROGRAM PLACED OUR CREATIVES IN LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES AND INVITED RESIDENTS OF THOSE COMMUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN CREATIVE PLACEMAKING COLLABORATIONS WITH ARTISTS, FAMILIES AND NEIGHBORS. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUPPORTS THE GROWTH OF THIS MOVEMENT BY PROVIDING AN APARTMENT AND A STIPEND TO OUR CREATIVES AS WE WORK TOGETHER TO DEVELOP PLACE-BASED PROGRAMMING. A SHARED ART EXPERIENCE CAN BE A POWERFUL WAY TO CONNECT AND HEAL. IN 2022 IN PHOENIX, AZ, A NEW MURAL HAS BROUGHT THE VIBRANT DESERT LANDSCAPE ALIVE IN THE HEART OF THE COMMUNITY. THE ARTWORK WAS THE BRAINCHILD OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT'S CREATIVE-IN-RESIDENCE WHO WORKED TOGETHER TO DESIGN AND PAINT THE BEAUTIFUL MURAL IN THE PLAYGROUND AREA. INITIATIVES SUCH AS THESE CONTRIBUTE TO A MORE VIBRANT, ENGAGED COMMUNITY. 118892 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 CA X HILDA JUSUF 9492533120 3920 BIRCH STREET 103 NEWPORT BEACH CA 92660 X JONATHAN WEBB PRESIDENT/CEO/DIRECTOR 8.00 X X 0 0 0 MADELEINE SPENCER SECRETARY/DIRECTOR 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ANABELLA PRITCHARD DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 KIM COLEMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 AGATA SURMA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 AMANDA EVANS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 HILDA JUSUF TREASURER/CFO 2.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 195933 195933 195933 0 0 0 X 10950 10950 25500 25500 10650 10650 1000 1000 39000 35500 1400 2100 774 774 5139 4368 771 1235 1235 PRGM EXPENSES (ARTISTS) 24200 24200 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 18374 18374 136822 118892 14830 3100 123512 160623 22000 123512 182623 0 0 X 123512 182623 123512 182623 123512 182623 59111 0 X 0 0 0 X 144920 267860 296275 183717 195933 1088705 144920 267860 296275 183717 195933 1088705 816235 272470 19 5 24 50 50 1088779 43536 0.25030 0.22200 X THE ORGANIZATION QUALIFIES AS A PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION FOR PURPOSE OF IRC SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) UNDER THE "FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES" TEST.
