PLAY ·2025 Grants ChallengeCultivating The Park Stewards of the Future
Clockshop is seeking support for WHAT WATER WANTS, a series of multigenerational educational opportunities combining culture, art, and science to increase public understanding of LA County’s water systems in the context of a new park space for Northeast LA next to the LA River. In parallel, we propose to seed and facilitate a new Bowtie Community Steering Committee, made up of local residents, youth, and tribal representatives, which will be a long-term self-governing body that will guide the program and operations at the future Bowtie Park.

The People's Kite Festival
The 3rd Annual People’s Kite Festival at LA State Historic Park will unite the park’s diverse surrounding communities through the joys of kite flying, inspiring communal stewardship of this beloved public land as it faces development pressures. The project will energize community activism to protect this hard-won neighborhood green space and its open skies. It will also address equitable park access through a partnership with nearby Ann Street Elementary and pedestrian-focused interventions from the art group Public Matters.
