Southland Sings! who performed a variety of selections from musical theatre. On-site coordination of
the event was provided by Librarian II Andrea Jason, with assistance from Facilities Maintenance
Specialist Eddie Flores. Attendance was estimated at 800.
Watercolors by Elizabeth Wiltrout Longridge were displayed in the Central Library lobby this month.
Mrs. Longridge was a resident of Corona del Mar and a student of Rex Brandt.
The Cultural Arts website was updated with current applications for Cultural Arts Grants. Last year’s
Cultural Arts Grants recipients were contacted and their completion reports were requested. Staff
publicized the Cultural Arts Grants through the Cultural Arts and Library mailing lists, press releases, and
contacts with local art organizations.
