Anaheim Ballet
Dear Mayor Sidhu and Council Members,
The arts are an important part of any community, and for more than 20 years, Anaheim Ballet has been a valued arts force and
presence in Anaheim. Anaheim Ballet provides free community-based after-school programming, workforce and recreational training,
bus -in presentations, lecture/demonstrations and concert performances and has been recognized both locally and internationally as a
point of pride to the City.
The Anaheim Cultural Arts Center (the current home of the Anaheim Ballet) is slated to be demolished without plans for a new
Cultural Arts Center or home for the Anaheim Ballet. If the City demolishes this architecturally unique building, you will be removing
the only Cultural Arts Center in the City and displacing the City's treasured arts organization. It is best for the community, and
especially for our underserved youth, that Anaheim Ballet remains in its current accessible location!
Please vote in support of the Cooperative Agreement with Anaheim Ballet. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Deborah and Donald Brothers
Anaheim, Ca 92804
We absolutely support the sentiments expressed in this letter. And have valued the unique
opportunities and specialized arts training the Anaheim Ballet offers to the children and families of our
community.
