Program accomplishments

  • The Public Art Program, founded in 1994, provides opportunities for participating artists to take risks, explore new ways to work within a community, and offer the community a unique experience of working directly with artists. There are seven installation/exhibition houses out of the original twenty-two shotgun houses. Three times a year, these houses are part of a "Round" of installations in which site-specific art is created in each house. Artists and artist collaborations participated in public art programming, including residencies, fellowships, lectures, artist talks, and installations. Over 25,000 people throughout the United States and the world visit Project Row Houses annually.
    Expenses $1,059,036 · revenue $22,856

  • Neighborhood Development activities include strategic partnerships to support the development and implementation of a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy for the historic Third Ward. PRH collaborates to prevent the displacement of longtime residents and enhance their economic and social well-being. The restored historic Eldorado Building (c.1939) is a neighborhood development initiative. The second-floor ballroom is used for PRH programming, partnership, and rental events, while the ground-floor spaces are used for exhibitions, meetings, PRH archives, artists' studios, and incubation. All Eldorado programs seek to raise the collective awareness and appreciation of the Eldorado Ballroom and the surrounding community.
