Building the Love House: Using Art for Social Change in Watts
with Alexandra Grant, Mike Niemann, and Edgar Arceneaux

Watts House Project is an artist-driven, collaborative redevelopment project between residents, artists, and architects to find creative solutions to everyday problems facing the Watts Towers community in South Los Angeles. Artist Alexandra Grant conceived of the “Love House”–placing a sculpture of the word “love” on the roof of a family home on 107th Street–as a lightning rod to draw attention and resources to the community across from Watts Towers. Grant and designer Mike Niemann discuss their collaboration on the “Love House” with Edgar Arceneaux, Director of Watts House Project (WHP).

FREE Admission; first come, first seated.
