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!
I have been taking ballet classes that Anaheim Ballet provides for the last 15 years, it's just like air, or blood to me, I
need it!!
Please vote in support of the Cooperative Agreement with Anaheim Ballet.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Yuko Graham
