Artist Rounds are a biannual event, with openings in March and October.  Each installation lasts approximately four months. During the Round, seven row houses are open to visiting artists to display works that address a topic, question, or challenge facing the community. Contributors include both individual artists and art collectives. Rounds are curated by PRH often in collaboration with guest curators. Danielle Burns Wilson is the current Curator & Art Director at PRH.

When a round is installed, the art houses are open to the public Wednesday – Sunday from noon to 5pm.

Current Round:

ON VIEW / OCTOBER 14, 2023 – FEBRUARY 18, 2024

Round 56: Post Hip-Hop? Or Return of the Boom Bop!

Curated by William Córdova, this round explores how the work of eleven artists and their respective practices are shaped and informed by rhythm, syncopation, harmonic proportions, and the metaphysical concept of musica universalis.

Featured artists include: Yanira Collado (b. Brooklyn, NY), Sofía Córdova (b. Carolina, Puerto Rico), Nathaniel Donnett (b. Houston, TX), Luis Gispert (b. Jersey City, NJ), André Leon Gray (b. Raleigh, NC), Rashawn Griffin (b. Los Angeles, CA), N. Masani Landfair (b. Chicago, IL), Lee Quiñones (b. Ponce, Puerto Rico), Kabuya Pamela Bowens-Saffo, and Onajide Shabaka (b. Cincinnati, OH).

Artist “Porch Talks” will take place from 3-4PM on Saturday, March 16th, 2024, followed by the Opening + Community Market from 4-7PM. This event, which kicks off at 2521 Holman Street, is free and open to the public.

Studios

PRH offers a plethora of opportunities to artists, but one of the things that artists need most is space – a space to work and allow their ideas to take shape. Affordable studio space can be a rarity in many cities, and we are proud to have the studios on campus available to artists from our community. Our current studio artists include Rabéa Ballin, Brian Ellison, and Anthony Suber.
