Save 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,
Sharon Jewell
