Arts & Culture

It’s unique, outdoors, and showcases the unconventional work of a noted desert artist. Noah Purifoy was a visual artist and sculptor, and co-founder of the Watts Towers Art Center in Los Angeles. His earliest body of sculpture, constructed out of charred debris from the 1965 Watts rebellion, was the basis for 66 Signs of Neon, the landmark 1966 group exhibition on the Watts riots that traveled throughout the country. For the 20 years that followed the rebellion, Purifoy dedicated himself to the found object, and to using art as a tool for social change. His approach profoundly influenced many discarded/found object artists today. Open daily, 7 am to 7 pm.
