BENEFIT AND CONTRIBUTION OF OVERALL PROJECT: The Victoria Gardens Cultural ,Center anticipates welcoming over '/z million youngsters and their families through their doors in opening year 2006. While already funded to provide a professional theater for young audiences and a public library, the CCHE funding will allow the Center to broaden it's offerings to include historical perspectives that will enrich the multi-cultural programming currently planned. These special display areas and interactive exhibits will help promote pride and self esteem in our youngsters—as they gain awareness of their rich history and take pride in the role they see for themselves in the living history of California. PROJECT GOALS: - GOAL. ONE – To provide school aged youngsters of the Inland Empire an opportunity to learn about the history and culture of their local region,from the anthropology of early Indian Tribes, through the days of the agricultural industry, ending with the powerful economic engines of today's booming economy. Objectives: 1) Provide a museum display area within the Center through the construction of the Cross Roads Rotunda. Located between the Library and the Playhouse, the 611 sq. ft. Crossroads Rotunda will be redesigned to provide 480 cubic feet of secure showcase storage for historical displays of artifacts provided by our museum partners. It will also create accessibility for volumes and documents on local and California history provided by the City of Rancho Cucamonga and the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library, currently locked in vaults at City Hall, inaccessible to the public. GOAL. Two – To provide school aged youngsters and their families an opportunity to learn and celebrate the three strengths of California: Diversity, Imagination and Ingenuity. Objectives: 1) Provide a symbol representing the power of Imagination through Diversity, creating living history and a future historic monument. Historically throughout California, towers have been part of the cultural and architectural landscape. From the bell towers of the California Missions and the bell and clock towers that define many of California's universities to the Watts Towers, these structures have served as icons for those landmarks they represent. Standing tall in the two-acre Cultural Center Courtyard, the illuminated Imagination Tower will not only serve as the symbol that represents the Cultural Center, but as an interactive educational tool. Designed to emphasize the importance of diversity in the creation of art, literature and industry, the Tower, through interior lights, will be used to represent the multiple diversity of California. Each population in California will be represented with a different color light in proportion to the percentage of the population. Youngsters will learn about the percentages of various populations in California, but more importantly, will be breathless with CALIFORNIA CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL ENDOWM hNT _ Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga. the beauty and power when all the lights are on together. This will be a strong visual statement of the power of diversity. To be designed by Summit to be interactive with extensive educational signage. 2) Provide mural celebrating Diversity. California Celebrations! (a 3-D mural) will be located in the Event Center. This area, a location that will be used to coordinate school tours, focuses on the rich cultural history of California and the Inland Empire region and blends it with stories and visions of dance, music and literature. The mural will feature a harvest festival celebration, Quinceanras, weddings, bar mitzvahs and other multi-cultural events celebrated in California with music and dance. To be designed by Summit with educational signage. 3) Provide Children's Carousel celebrating California cultural myths and folktales. This 8' rotating diorama will feature three scenes from California folktales. Welcoming youngsters and their families as they enter the Children's Room, these scenes will weave tales of Indian, Chinese, and Hispanic folklore. To be designed by Summit with educational signage. 4) Provide sculpture highlighting California Ingenuity. Allow youngsters to learn and experience the ingenuity of California through a dramatic display in the Crossroads Rotunda that highlights the contributions of California inventors and industry. Encouraging youngsters to dream—and create their dreams—this area will feature a machine called a "dreaminator" suspended from a 28' ceiling. Surrounding the "dreaminator" will be a painted mural featuring the exciting technological developments currently contributed by California and fueling the world economy—the space industry and the cyber world. To be designed by Summit with educational signage. GOAL THREE— To promote partnerships with other agencies to leverage services and opportunities for youth in the Inland Empire. Objectives: 1) Create a strong partnership with the education community. The guiding force behind the Center will be a strong creative partnership with the community's schools, enabling educators, librarians, Community Services Department administrators, and performing artists to work together to develop meaningful and high quality cultural experiences for children and their families. These will enhance the arts curriculum of Rancho Cucamonga students of all ages by providing joint opportunities for culturally-enhanced field trips, extra-curricular .activities, work-study, and other curriculum connections which teachers indicate will dramatically improve the children's overall educational experience. 2) Create partnerships with local museums and historical organizations. The high visibility and accessibility of this project makes it a partnership opportunity. Already the San Bernardino County Museum, the Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Historical Society, the Etiwanda Historical Society and the Route 66 Museum have agreed to participate in a partnership by providing displays of their artifacts which will, in turn, provide promotion opportunities for their own museums and collections. CALIFORNIA CULTURAL ANI)HISTORICAI_ENDOWMENT 3 / Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga / QUESTION TWO Project Audience and Needs Assessment — Please describe your project audience and illustrate the critical needs your project will address. PROJECT AUDIENCE: Youngsters ages 6 through 16 and their families DEMOGRAPHICS: Rancho Cucamonga serves as a hub of southwestern San Bernardino County, an area that is experiencing significant growth and diversification. While 143,711 people lived in Rancho Cucamonga in 2002 (more than double the 1980 population), 667,050 people lived within ten miles of the site of the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center(a 76% increase over 1980). This ten-mile radius constitutes the Center's primary service community. It is a community that is younger than the rest of the state (almost 30% is younger than 18 years, compared to 27% of the state's population), has a slightly lower median household income than the rest of the state ($45,560 vs. $47,360), a lower level of educational attainment (16% college graduates vs. 23.4%), and is more heavily Latino (43%vs. 321/6). Three of the five school districts that serve the city and surrounding communities report that more than 30% of their students are socio-economically disadvantaged. The percentage of the city's population below the poverty level has increased by nearly 50% since 1990, rising from 5.4% to 7.1%. Nearly 14% of Rancho Cucamonga residents reported that they are foreign born and 25% of the population reported speaking a language other than English at home. EDUCATION CONNECTION: Through school tours, and library visits, more than '/z million visitors will pass through the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center during its first year. Anticipated School Visits: Current estimates anticipate more than 180 public theater performances for children and families annually in the Playhouse alone, and another 100 performances and educational activities exclusively for school audiences. Altogether, nearly 110,000 children and family members are expected to attend and benefit from the Playhouse's theater performances each year. Library Visits: The current library welcomes over 400,000 visits each year. This new branch location expects to match that number in the first year of operation. NEEDS ASSESSMENT: As part of its ongoing effort to assess and respond to the needs of its community, the City of Rancho Cucamonga recently commissioned two studies of local residents and community leaders in business, education, government, and the arts. The purpose of the studies was to gain community input as part of the City's planning process related to quality of life issues. Most community leaders indicated that while the City of Rancho Cucamonga had done an admirable job of enhancing its residents' quality of life, one vital component was still lacking: the opportunity for residents to experience and participate in arts and cultural activities. 4 CAIJFORNIA CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL ENDOWM F.NT Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga �% NEED ONE-More cultural arts programs for families to share with children. Nearly 85% of total respondents said they would attend more arts and cultural events if such events were available locally. Furthermore,more than 40% of survey respondents who said they have children living at home indicated that there are not enough events to enjoy with their children. And the desire for increased `family-friendly' programming appears to be shared by the larger Rancho Cucamonga public as well: Eighty-five percent of residents surveyed said there should be more cultural events in the area geared toward family attendance. Overall, the survey revealed, more than 95% of survey respondents are extremely supportive of more opportunities for children to be exposed to culture in the community. NEED Two - Formal educational programs need support in offering cultural arts programs to students. When interviewed as part of this study, the superintendents of all five school districts serving Rancho Cucamonga stated that additional opportunities for their students to participate in and attend cultural programming and performing arts events as an extracurricular activity are sorely needed. This situation is particularly acute at a time when Rancho Cucamonga's schools — like those in most communities — are being crippled by budget cuts and have come to depend upon outside community cultural resources to supplement and enhance their curricula. NEED THREE - The public strongly stated the need for agencies to partner to maximize education for their children. A survey conducted as part of the Library Master Plan 2000 showed that the public "strongly believes" that the school, library and other agencies should work together to develop program enrichment for children in the areas of history, culture and the arts. In fact, a number of studies in the last ten years have shown significant and direct connections between a child's exposure to, and involvement in, cultural arts activities and that child's interest and achievement levels in other school curriculum. While a strong partnership with the schools is already in place, funding by CCHE will foster the creation of partnerships with other cultural agencies, including Museums and Historical Societies. These partnerships promise to unite the community more than ever before, and it is an all-too-rare example of how community planning can effectively leverage resources for the benefit of children. As such, we hope these partnerships will be a model initiative for other communities that are facing the challenges of providing community-based arts and cultural programming for a young, diverse, and rapidly growing population. NEED FOUR-Promote self-esteem in the young. Youngsters in the Inland Empire need to learn to take pride in the accomplishments of their region and the rich history of which they are part. This helps them to understand their roots and take pride in themselves. This is particularly important for the "at risk" profile youngster: low income, low self esteem with low English language and reading skills. CALIFORNIA CUI:I'1IRAL AND HISTORICAL ENDOWMf_NT 5)-7Victoria Gardens Library-Rancho Cucamonga QUESTION THREE CCHE Priorities.—How does this project fit into the priorities of CCHE? HOW DOES THIS PROJECT: 1. Preserve, interpret and enhance understanding and appreciation of the significant elements that add to the State's cultural, social, and economic evolution. Working with the five local school districts, we have created a"destination place" for school field trips that will emphasize arts and literacy, provide the opportunity for multi-cultural programming, present the opportunity for youngsters to learn more of the history of their own community and celebrate the diversity of California. Because our target audience consists of youngsters ages 6 through 17 and their families, we have chosen a visual approach to enhancing both understanding and appreciation of the strengths of California's past as we have defined them: Imagination, Ingenuity and Diversity. The Crossroads Rotunda sets the stage for a room devoted to depicting the rise of California, and the connections made between the early Cucamonga Indians, through the cyber revolution. The stunning Dreaminator, symbol of California's spirit of ingenuity, hangs suspended from the 28' ceiling, surrounded on high by a mural that depicts California contributions to world culture, including the space age and the cyber revolution. Below, through a series of glass case display areas, doumentation of a colorful history emerges through the written word, as well as traveling exhibits of early Indian life and the anthropology of the area provided by our partner, the San Bernardino County Museum. Relic exhibits provided by our partners the Etiwanda Historical Society and the Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Historical Society reveal a glimpse of the 19`h and early 20`h centuries; and the more modem and colorful path of Route 66 through our partner the Route 66 Museum. The mural documenting famous celebrations of California located in the Event Center will be used to emphasize the diverse cultural makeup of California while illuminating history of the area. The Imagination Tower and surrounding courtyard will be used as a powerful visual tool to demonstrate that the strength and power of California lies in its diversity. 1. Preserve, document, interpret or enhance understanding of threads of California's story that are absent or underrepresented in existing historical parks, monuments, museums and other facilities. The stories of Inland Empire history are threads of California's story currently underrepresented in the colorful annals of history. The Inland Empire, a vast giant long viewed as sleeping on the outskirts of Los Angeles, is emerging in the twenty first century as a powerhouse of the California economy. Yet, somehow, the history of this vast area has been lost to the powerful pull of the glitz and glamour of neighboring LA. Mike Davis, contributing author to "Nation" magazine, points out that "although many Americans are hardly aware of its existence, this "Inland Empire" has a bigger population than the city of Chicago, or, for that matter, Detroit, Phildelphia and Seattle combined." The most telling phrase in that quote is the fact that many Americans are unaware of its existence. Perhaps that is why funding and grants from a federal level rarely make their way to the Inland Empire. San Bernardino 6 CALIFORNIA CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL ENDOWMENT Q Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga U County, representing 10% of the total California population and 13% of the land mass, received only 6% of the federal funds allocated in 2002. Although Rancho Cucamonga hosts the oldest winery in California, as well as the first Community college (Chaffey) and the second oldest fired brick building, virtually unknown are the stories of life among the Cucamonga Indians, Rancho life under the Spanish government, the violent murder of John Rains, the love story of Maria Merced and the battle for water by George Chaffey. All these are powerful stories that deserve a stronger voice. Through creative displays, partnerships with local community museums, involvement with school districts and dramatic enactments by the resident theater company, the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center proposes to be that voice. The Crossroads Rotunda exhibits will provide an array of materials focusing on the history of the Inland Empire and Rancho Cucamonga. The permanent collection consists of photos, books, pamphlets, journals and artifacts currently located in a secure vault at City Hall. This project will make these items accessible to the public and presented in a way that makes them meaningful to the young. Traveling exhibits will also be on display from our museum partners. Our skilled Children's Librarians and talented staff artist have created coloring books based on early Cucamonga Indian life. The display area will allow them to be highlighted. Scripted programs have been designed, allowing youngsters to act out important moments in history through role playing in the Event Center—after researching their roles by using original source materials in the Library. In the future, the resident Theater Company will take on the task of creating original works for the theater based on historical events. At that time, the history of the Inland Empire and Rancho Cucamonga will truly have found their"voice". 3. Achieve careful balance geographically, among communities and organizations of large and small size, and among diverse ethnic groups. Geographic Balance: The Inland Empire needs to be evaluated as a unique area apart from the Los Angeles hub. Rancho Cucamonga, one of the largest cities in San Bernardino County, is located 37 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and, along with the city of Ontario,represents the gateway into the Inland Empire. Organization Size: The City of Rancho Cucamonga is a large city, and the partnership with the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands represents cooperation with a major museum outlet,however several of the project partnerships represent the smallest of organizations (Etiwanda and Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Historical Societies,with their house-sized museums; the Route 66 Museum, searching for a"home"). Diversity: As documented in Nation Magazine when discussing the growth of the Inland Empire, author Mike Davis notes "It may not have beaches,but it has the most democratic and racially mixed neighborhoods in the state. Unlike much of Los Angeles, where diversity is often the transitional artifact of ethnic replacement, the blue-collar interior is a true rainbow. Affordable and, for once, racially unrestricted housing has attracted working-class whites following the eastward migration of warehouses and trucking companies, as well as African-American families trying to save their kids from the carnage of LA's gang wars. Chicanos, more than a third of the population, follow in the footsteps of their grandparents, who toiled in the Inland Empire's orchards and railroad shops." 7 CALIFORNIA CUL TURAI.ANT)HISTORICA L EN1X1WMF.NT Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga QUESTION FOUR ONGOING PROJECT MAINTENANCE AND PUBLIC ACCESSIBILITY Project Maintenance—What is your plan for financially maintaining and sustaining your project after CCHE funds are exhausted? AND Public Accessibility—What is your plan for making your completed project accessible to the public? Project Maintenance— What is your plan for financially maintaining and sustaining your project after CCHE funds are exhausted? The Victoria Gardens Cultural Center's location within walking distance of the city's vibrant new Main Street in the Victoria Gardens development is designed to maximize the facility's economic benefits and popular appeal. Consultants have determined that the development of the Cultural Center will result in $8.4 million of additional economic benefits annually through increased spending by the facility itself, its users, employees, and those who visit the Center and its surrounding businesses. Annual operational and programming funding for the Cultural Center will be derived from several public- and private-sector sources. The 440-acre Victoria Gardens Mall is anticipated to generate approximately $3 million in sales tax revenue for the City of Rancho Cucamonga. Additional revenue streams for the project include ticket sales, conference center revenue, library tax dollars, an annual contribution by the mall's developer, and substantial fundraising efforts by the local community. An estimated $3,845,000 has been budgeted for the first year of operations, with an anticipated revenue stream of$2,014,000. That leaves $1,830,000 that will be paid for with tax dollars from the General Fund. The City has been working with two local foundations, the Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation and the Rancho Cucamonga Public Library Foundation, to create a private fundraising initiative for the Center. In spring 2003, the two foundations agreed to form a partnership to launch the Promoting Arts and Literacy (PAL) campaign, the goal of which is to raise $5 million from the private sector towards the construction and endowment of the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center. Currently, $2.5 million dollars have been raised by PAL. The City of Rancho Cucamonga is playing a major role in backing the PAL campaign, providing administrative support and engaging the services of fundraising and marketing professionals to help guide the campaign's leadership, all of whom are area residents committed to making the dream of the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center a reality by spring 2006. The PAL campaign has been publicized extensively throughout the region in an effort not only to cultivate support for the campaign, but also to engage the community over the long term, building a dedicated and committed constituency for the arts, culture and education in the greater Rancho Cucamonga area. Public Accessibility— What is your plan for making your completed project accessible to the public? VISIBILITY AND ATTRACTIVENESS: Rather than isolated from the daily life of the community, the Center will be located at its heart, within walking distance of shops, offices, schools, and homes. Located with high visibility in a major mall, the City negotiated a prime site for the cultural center, with direct visibility from the Main Street commons portion of the Center and visibility from the North for the residential development. The CALIFORNIA CULTURAL AW HISTORICAL ENDON'MGN"I 8 Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga v—� Center will be within an array of retails stores. The setting is laid out as a grid of walking streets with lush, landscaped sidewalks. A town square, plazas, paseos, and small parks will be sprinkled throughout the downtown area. It is envisioned as a place for people to spend time, for children and families; a place with colorful plants, shops and graphics; a place with a town square, pedestrian paseos, shaded courtyards, outdoor dining, and fountains. A place with a sense of history. The goal is to enable local residents to integrate the arts and cultural education into their daily lives, making this Center an energizing source of wonder and inspiration they can experience every day. The Center will be convenient for local residents and a"cultural destination" for those who live in the region. The Cultural Center will be a building of architectural significance and prominence. It will be a multi- story building, visible in the City as a vista/focal point. The "fly tower", part of the theater component of the multiuse center, will extend 76' into the air and will promote the center. The fly tower and building design will have visibility from Interstate Freeway 15, and will be an architectural landmark. ADA ACCESSIBILITY: The topography of the site is relatively flat. There are no natural or artificial barriers such as rivers, railroad or freeways that impede access to the site. The building itself is being constructed in compliance with all ADA regulations. In fact, the Office of the State Architect reviewed and approved the plans regarding accessibility in February of 2004. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: Presently, Omnitrans (local transit) is within a '/o mile from Foothill Boulevard and '/z mile from Base Line Road. Both streets are major thoroughfares. By opening of the Cultural Center, Omnitrans will add a stop at Day Creek Boulevard, a major thoroughfare, and Church Street, a special secondary street. Presently,Metrolink (regional rapid transit) is within two miles from site. STREET ACCESSIBILITY: The site is within the Victoria Gardens Regional Mall, which will be the business and cultural heart for the City and the region due to it's accessibility in terms of auto, foot and bicycle traffic. The Cultural Center is located near the 210 and 15 freeways and is directly north of Foothill Boulevard, the famous Route 66. PARKING: Autos: The intent is to provide adequate parking conveniently located to the Cultural Center entrance. Two parking garages flank the Cultural Center, affording 1,180 parking spaces for easy access to the Center. The parking lots will have direct access to a modern system of public streets. A traffic analysis has been done to show that traffic will move smoothly and efficiently in the vicinity of the Cultural Center. Also, the traffic signals will be synchronized and monitored through the use of a modem traffic signal system which will include video surveillance cameras and fiber optic communication cables. Bicycles: In terms of bicycle parking, the Cultural Center accommodates 12 bicycle parking spaces at the site. 9 CALIFORNIA CUI_TURAi,AND HISTORICAL ENDOU'M FNT Victoria Gardens Library—Rancho Cucamonga QUESTION FIVE TASKS, BUDGET AND MATCHING REQUIREMENT 1) What are the tasks of your project and your total project budget?
