Public Art at Project Row Houses
Project Row Houses was initiated out of conversations between a group of African-American Artists who were exploring how art can be utilized to create a positive impact within the community and how to provide an alternative space for the underrepresented minority artists of that time. Project Row Houses is a product of those initial conversations, now offering a variety or programming that meets the needs of the community and Houston area artists.
Virtually all of our arts and cultural programming is referred to as “Public Art” as they are developed to respond to our community, involve our community, and reflect our community. To us, arts and community are integrally necessary for each other to thrive – art is not viable without community and community is not viable without art.
Utilizing ten of the original 22 shotgun houses, we offer a variety of programming for both the emerging, mid-career and established artists.
Artists In Action
Artists In Action is a pilot program that will serve as an exploration and demonstration of how creativity can be used as a resource and how creative thought can be applied to resolve every day concerns. Artists In Action will create a true intersection between artists and community, whereby the artists go out to the community.
