On View
This year’s cohort brings together the voices of ten diverse artists whose work speaks directly to the urgency, complexity, and fragility of our times. Spanning visual art, time-based media, architecture, and performance, this dynamic exhibition explores how contemporary creators are processing the cultural and sociological nuances of identity and imagination. From intimate gestures of resistance to sweeping architectural visions, each installation is a form of response. Together, these works reflect a collective reckoning with the changing times.
On View: June 5 – July 20

HISTORY
While renovating the PRH site, the founders began to focus on how to infuse a visible presence of art into the project. The earliest iteration of this was the Drive By exhibition, conceived by Jesse Lott. With the windows and doors still boarded up during renovations, artists were invited to create installations on the exteriors of the houses. This tradition evolved into what we call Art Rounds.
Project Row Houses engages and serves a diverse community of emerging and mid-career local, national, and international artists. By encouraging them to expand their practice outside of the studio, PRH helps artists evidence new methods of bringing communities together and engaging audiences in important dialogues. Today, the Public Art Program has grown to include commissioned projects, residencies, and fellowships that pass on the lessons that have made Project Row Houses a model for preserving identity, history and cultural richness.
The Art Houses and Community Gallery are open Wednesday through Sunday from Noon-5pm through the duration of their viewing periods.
