Fairplex Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT

2017

Welcome

Dr. Michael Ortiz,

Chairman of the Board

Miguel A. Santana,

President & CEO

Mike

I ended my tenure as interim President & CEO of Fairplex in mid-January, when
Miguel Santana took over the reins, and returned to my duties as Chairman of the
Board of Fairplex. That brief stint in the CEO’s chair gave me a greater appreciation
for the position and helped me conclude that Miguel was the perfect person for the job.
It was a pleasure to watch Fairplex return to its days of glory – from restoring the
LA County Fair’s traditions to expanding events with the likes of En Memoria.
I am always amazed at the talent of the Fairplex staff and their resiliency. It was a
good year and a tough one; but we came out stronger and ready to face the future.

Miguel

My first year at Fairplex was a whirlwind of learning, leading and leaning in. I had been to the LA
County Fair as a child and I brought my own children. But being on staff is different than being a
guest. Even before I took the CEO helm in January, I did my research, visited the 2016 LA County
Fair incognito (easy to do, since no one knew me at that point) and saw what the customers saw.
Once I started, at the Board’s direction we began an extensive strategic plan process that included
ten well-attended community hearings on our past, present and future. As we prepared for the
2017 Fair, my first as President & CEO, I took what I learned from the previous Fair and shifted our
direction: We went back to our roots. We embraced tradition and nostalgia, leaned in to who we are
and what we are about – agriculture, blue ribbons, entertainment, education and community fun.
Embracing our rich diversity, we added new programming to bring in new audiences, including our
first Day of the Dead celebration, En Memoria. We are planning even more culturally and socially
relevant programming in the future.
Close to the end of the year, we had to restructure our budget to strengthen our fiscal footing.
Rightsizing can be challenging, especially when changes have to be made in a CEO’s first year. Staff
reductions and budget cuts across the board were implemented. Fairplex emerged with a strong
budget, and for the first time, established a reserve and a fund for new programming.
Now, we are planning for the future. The Strategic Plan, prepared with input from the community,
Fairplex Association, business partners, elected officials and neighbors, will direct our path for the
next three to five years and lay a foundation for the next 100 years. Our Centennial is right around
the corner – there is no time to waste.

Fairplex Presents…
Blue ribbons. Corn dogs. Fireworks. Day of the Dead. Schnitzel. Fairplex embraced nostalgia and
tradition in 2017, returning our flagship event to its heyday of on-the-spot bubble-gum blowing
contests and kickin’ it old-school style at the LA County Fair while embracing new programming
like En Memoria, a Day of the Dead and low-rider car culture experience.

LA County Fair, Old-School Style

The Learning Centers

Education has been a commitment of Fairplex since its inception in 1922. Programs have evolved and
thrived, resulting in an impressive and enduring educational legacy for surrounding communities.
The Learning Centers at Fairplex, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, is uniquely positioned to
provide a wide variety of educational programs. By complementing existing businesses and
activities on the 487-acre Fairplex campus, TLC’s unique programs offer participants a number
of relevant opportunities, from early childhood education to adult learning, and fulfills unmet
educational needs in the community.

Education begins at Birth

The Child Development Center at Fairplex,
also a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, in
partnership with the University of La Verne,
is a valuable community resource serving
families with children from 12 weeks to 6
years old. Its staff of highly trained experts
has designed an environment of learning
that encourages its young students to
solve problems while developing empathy,
and providing parents with education on
parenting – to engage the family as a whole.

PARTICIPATED IN ARTREACH
Millard Sheets Art Center was privileged to participate ART EXHIBITION
in Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a far-reaching and
ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino 250 GRADUATE STUDENTS
art in dialogue with Los Angeles. Initiated through MPAFRATJIUCIRPIAETDEEDXIHNIBTIHTEIOSNOCAL
grants from the Getty Foundation, PST: LA/LA took
place from September 2017 through January 2018 at 87,000 VISITORS TO THE
more than 70 cultural institutions across Southern LA COUNTY FAIR
California, from Los Angeles to Palm Springs and EXHIBIT PST: LA/LA
from San Diego to Santa Barbara. MSAC’s exhibition,
Judithe Hernandez and Patssi Valdez: One Path Two
Journeys, brought together two women who were
part of Los Four and Asco, ground-breaking Los
Angeles artist collectives speaking out for Mexican-
American civil rights in the 1970s and early ‘80s.
Their work validated ethnic and cultural practices
and campaigned against discrimination, racism and
exploitation. Their unique public art and bi-cultural
style brought Chicano art to the attention of the
mainstream art world. One Path Two Journeys
presented a visual dialogue of their established and
new works. Whether through the brilliant colors and
patterns of movement in the work of Valdez or the
richly representative pastels of Hernández, visitors
experienced the powerful, personal, defiant and
intimate in the aesthetic evolution of these two artists.
