"Santa Ana- That Quiet and Surprising Artist!" Santa Ana by marinarena

What a splash that Santa Ana makes!

She is the more virtuous "Ana" of O.C. (compared to Anaheim). Well, this is perhaps in name onlyl!

Visitors come to her to see her city zoo, Taco Bell Discovery Science Center, Bowers Museum, other museums and galleries.

Anyone who comes here can feel, for the most part, safe, despite some significant reports of crimes (mostly isolated and at night). Still, Santa Ana extends goodness- so, don't hesistate and arrive to her.

Fact:
S.A has the largest population in O.C.

Art thrives in S.A! And yet, not many people locally know about it! Santa Ana is really a quiet artist, but a vibrant one! The center of the Santa Ana arts is at the Santora Arts Building where painters, sculptor, poets and others create, unite and share.
