2 SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE
Why are you interested in serving as a Boards and Commissions member? What do you feel you could contribute?
What qualifies you for this appointment?
What is your vision for growth in South San Francisco?
I'm interested in serving as a Boards and Commissions member for Cultural Arts as I want to be more involved in my community and through this, I could incorporate both my passion for community building and art. I feel as if I can contribute with my experiences as a Mexican American, artist, and volunteer. Bring these qualities and to contribute towards the innovation and growth of our city. I primarily want to focus on building encouragement about art and how it benefits our lives through mental health or as a career.
I am qualified for this appointment because I am not only going to be able to bring a fresh new perspective into the commission but I have a lot of experience in community building In SSF and the arts. During High School, In the middle college program, I was a member of both the Leadership and yearbook club. This experience gave me insight on how to engage the community and be able work with other members to coordinate events for our program. I'm currently getting more involved with SSF events and I strive to be more active within the city. I have also studied traditional art for about 2 years now while in the animation/ illustration program at San Jose State. Learning how to use different materials from graphite, charcoal, gouache, acrylic, and digital. I could bring these learning aspects and experiences to contribute to events for the commission. Furthermore as a young adult, I want to encourage more demographics to be appreciated through art and thrive to build more community through the arts.
My vision for the growth in South San Francisco, not only resides to the cultural arts commission but as a whole community. Being able to represent all its people and my eagerness to be more involved has brought me to be more attentive to the importance of that. It's about representing the people and inspiring them today as well as our future generations to hold the prosperity and greatness of our community.
I tie this into bringing motivation to the cultural arts commission because the lack of representation I had growing up about being involved in the arts made me feel misplaced and I want to contribute to expressing the greatness of being a part of the growing community. Showcasing the opportunities and growth one can achieve through expressing themselves in a creative and artistic way.
