Watts Towers and Art Center

A folk art landmark built by Simon Rodia, a European immigrant, from discarded objects and flotsam between 1921 and 1954; when finished, he deeded this property to a neighbor and moved from LA; the Black community has come to embrace these towers and art center; the center features a thriving eclectic mix of art exhibits, performing arts and classes that include ceramics, animation, printmaking, drumming, photography, assemblage, comic books, and graphic design.
