Los Angeles-based artist Alexandra Grant has created a special edition for LA><ART to support Watts House Project (WHP), an ongoing collaborative artwork led by Edgar Arceneaux. WHP is an artist-driven neighborhood redevelopment that is aimed at improving the homes and lives of residents who live across the street from the historic Watts Towers.
Grant has designed the Love Necklace to help raise funds to benefit Watts House Project (WHP). Grant’s work uses language as the basis for images in painting, drawing and sculpture. For WHP, Grant has proposed a sculpture of the word “love” be placed on the roof of a house on 107th Street, literally putting “love on the house.” The singular font and shape of the sculpture is copied in the elegant sterling silver Love Necklace, which embodies both the “hand-made” and the universal aspects of love.
As a benefit for Watts House Project, the Love Necklace is produced by Honor Fraser Gallery, LA><ART, and ForYourArt.
Watts House Project (WHP) is an artist-driven urban revitalization project centered around the historic Watts Towers in Watts, California. Directed by Los Angeles artist Edgar Arceneaux, WHP is a large-scale artwork-as-neighborhood-redevelopment engaging art and architecture as a catalyst for expanding and enhancing community.
Generating a physical and social infrastructure for creativity, WHP catalyzes artistic production and community pride of place, establishing partnerships that can lead to real solutions, hope, and change.

Watts House Project is made possible in part by its generous sponsors and partners including Creative Capital, ForYourArt, the Hammer Museum, Master of Public Art Studies Program, University of Southern California, and LA><ART.
