Love Grows Here Community Bead Project

This project is sponsored by Dona Ana Communities United, a dedicated ally to the LAGBTQIA+ community. They work to connect communities throughout Dona Ana, Luna, and Sierra counties, showing that there are many of us who stand together; intergenerational, spanning different counties, united in support and love.

The project centers around a beautiful heart-shaped structure filled with beaded chicken wire curtain. But here is the magic, the beads are not just decorations. They are assembled by community members at events throughout Doña Ana, Luna, and Sierra counties, with each person adding their own piece to our collective story.

Dona Ana Communities United takes this project on the road to reach people where they are, creating connections across three counties before bringing everyone together for the big reveal. It is about building a chosen family, creating visibility, and sharing a piece of community art one bead at a time. Showing that love really does grow here is Southern New Mexico.
