Urban Letters by Yarn Bombing Los Angeles
Submit your urban letter
Urban Letters is a public art project by the knit graffiti collaborative Yarn Bombing Los Angeles. Using large colorful yarn letters, we will write in public spaces what people want to say to the city of Los Angeles. Please submit what you would like us to write in a neighborhood of Los Angeles!

To be written on the fence of Grand View Elementary in Mar Vista as a welcome symbol to all students. We have a fantastic Dual Language program that we want to promote and our humble Title One school is directly adjacent to a very posh and private Wildwood School. We shine too!
