Senator Min awards $250,000 to Orange County Museum of Art

Last June, Senator David Min (D-Irvine) announced that he secured nearly $10 million for local priorities in the 2023-24 State Budget, including disbursements for 10 projects in the 37th Senate District. The projects include investments in arts education, water management and public safety technology.

As a result, on Saturday, Nov. 11, Senator Min awarded $250,000 to the Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) to go toward their public educational programs that provide access to art free of charge for the broadest possible audience.
