The Flower Chain was a public art and community art education project conceived and implemented by artist Michelle Glass. It rose out of a youth mural painting project in Inglewood's Darby Park. The City sought to engage 20 local teenagers in a paid summer activity to use the power of art to build collaboration among diverse youth groups.

Ms. Glass proposed The Flower Chain as a one day project resulting in temporary signage displayed on the Park's chain link fencing. Using the Park, Recreation and Library Services' motto, 'Parks Make Life Better,' Glass assigned one of the 19 letters to each youth and asked them to design then paint it on a precut octagonal plaque. The 20th youth was hired as project assistant. These artistic letters were attached to an exterior chain link fence and each was surrounded by five steel 'petals' to frame the youth's original artwork. The Flower Chain is a temporary project that has continued for years due to its beauty and popularity.
