Mayor and Council Members,
I am in support of approving a Two-year Agreement with Silicon Valley Creates for an Amount
Not-to-exceed $50,000 for Funding the "Elevate Gilroy Through the Arts" Program. This
partnership will strengthen one of your City Council goals, and partnership with the Gilroy Arts
& Culture Commission, Gilroy Arts Roundtable, and SV Creates. It will show the region that we
recognize the crucial role of arts, culture, and creativity in the lives of everyone. While
recognizing that the arts and creativity support student success and lifelong learning, provide
key job skills, and bring joy to our community while strengthening our connections. I ask for
your support.
Sincerely,
Mattie
