At a "launch" event at 18th Street Arts Center, 18th Street's executive director Jan Williamson gave a media presentation on the program.18th Street is one of the partners in the program, along with the City, Jewish Vocational Services, and Counterintuity, a marketing firm.
"18th Street was excited to [get involved in the project]," said Williamson, "because we have been involved in other collaborations."She cited a collaboration between 18th Street and social service and arts programs in New Orleans after the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina.In the same way, she believes there will be benefits in the "cross-pollination" between Santa Monica's arts and social service programs, who can help each other and will also be able to find out about each other's offerings.
