Thank you.

0:30:04

Those are good questions.

0:30:05

I'm excited.

0:30:06

All right.

0:30:09

I wanted to follow-up on a couple of programs that you mentioned that I'm I'm actually a bit unfamiliar with.

0:30:16

And I think that's why, you know, having this hearing is is gonna be so informative because small business services, you clearly have laid out the number of grants that you are allocating and dispersing, and it's great news.

0:30:33

And I wanna bring as many of those grants to the culture community as possible.

0:30:37

And so that that's why we're here.

0:30:39

So let's start with arts on the avenue.

0:30:43

Can you tell us a little bit about that?

Haris Khan

0:30:45

That's a DCLA funded program.

0:30:48

What's the program?
