Name: DeWitt Cheng on Oct 18, 2008Comments: I do art reviews for East Bay Express and other publications. Everyone knows that hard times are ahead for everyone, but Oakland should do its utmost to preserve its vibrant art scene, which, known nationally, adds luster to the city.Flag

Name: Yana Goldfine on Oct 18, 2008Comments: It is so important that during difficult times our children have an outlet to express their deepest concerns. We saw just how important it was for children to express themselves after hurricane Katrina. This is not a time to be cutting funds for children expressing their deepest emotions. We must think about this as an investment in our children. When we look at our local artists these are not people living high on the hog. If anything, they are living close to the bone. Art is the deep voice of our environment and the collective unconscious. This is not the time to cut funding. We must hold on. Please think carefully about cutting this very important Bay Area program. We must think about this as not spending money, but investing in the future for all of us. Sincerely Yana Goldfine a local artistFlag
