PRH/Core Residency
In collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, a year-long residency is available for a Glassell Core Fellow Artist. Second-year Core Fellows interested in broadening the scope of their work by living and working in an urban environment are eligible to apply for this dual residency. Once selected, the Core Fellow has an opportunity to live onsite at PRH, participate in programming activities and create an original project that responds to, engages and/or is reflective of the Third Ward community.

Artist statement:
we believe that impact more or less is a relative term. what may seem significant to one person, of course may not be to another. yet, we see this relationship of being in consistent dialog, of in the same circle of circumstance. this is where we find ourselves. often working in various modes, one neglected as another is prominent. the name para/site is clearly taken from its etymological roots, meant to imply both our spatial and logistical relationship to prh; but also how we deploy meaning and experience to attach itself to architecture, history, and community. and though para/site harbors in this historic place, we of course see a difference. we expect para/site to respond to the strong force of community here, but anticipate the sweet surprise when it doesn’t.
