Various community organizations have come together to provide door to door bilingual outreach for an April 24th Ortega Park Community Workshop. The event will be held in Ortega Park and will start at 1PM. The event is being organized by City Council member Alejandra Gutierrez with Parks and Recreation Staff, City administration, members of the Santa Barbara Arts Advisory Council, the County Office of Arts and Culture and the One Community Bridge Project. A special thank you to City Rep. Kristen Sneddon for also providing leadership for this important neighborhood event.
The One Community Bridge Project signed on to assist with neighborhood outreach for this event with the support from the Fund for Santa Barara, Bienstar Latinx, the Association of Raza Educators, Ethnic Studies SBHS, Chicano Culture SB and many volunteers.
The event is a continuation of the City of Santa Barbara’s efforts to revitalize Ortega Park and to reverse its decision to destroy the historic Chicano murals that have lived in the park for 42 years.
