A housing complaint filed last month alleges drug abuse, lack of security and inadequate arts programming at the Santa Ana Arts Collective.
Lisa Warmuth thought she had found an ideal community of like-minded creatives when moving into the Santa Ana Arts Collective apartments a year ago. The silverpoint artist sold her lakefront home in northern Minnesota and looked forward to a new lease on life.
Townhouse tenants on the ground floor have documented incidents where homeless people have done drugs, masturbated and defecated in their patios. The situation at SAAC attracted the attention of Andrea Lee Harris, an arts administrator and educator at Santiago Canyon College who recently visited the premises unannounced. What she found, from an unpermitted gate to a locked and darkened makerspace, seemed off.
Addressed to Santa Ana’s Housing Authority, the 16-page complaint also detailed where artist tenants — the painters, musicians, ceramicists, digital artists and jewelry makers who give the complex its identity — didn’t feel adequately supported. In time, artist tenants who did get approved realized that not all of their neighbors were low-income creatives, whether local to O.C. or not. The complex is also home to several supportive housing tenants. The complaint speculates that an agreement was made with the city to include such residents as not enough artists could be found or that it was done to acquire additional funding.
