Located in Houston's Third Ward-a historic African-American
neighborhood-Project Row Houses (PRH) is a community platform that
enriches lives through art with an emphasis on cultural identity
and its impact on the urban landscape. Since its inception in 1993,
PRH has fostered a positive, creative environment in the community
by infusing it with art and creativity and creating sustainable
opportunities for artists, mothers, entrepreneurs, and residents.
Today the PRH site encompasses five city blocks and houses
thirty-nine structures that serve as home base to a variety of
community-enriching initiatives, art programs, and neighborhood
development activities. Collective Creative Actions: Project Row
Houses at 25 highlights the history of the Third Ward neighborhood,
PRH's role in its development over the past quarter-century, and
the idea of social art practice from the perspective of PRH's five
pillars: art and creativity; education; social safety net; good and
relevant architecture; and economic sustainability. It also
includes scholarly essays; a selection of impactful moments that
have shaped the organization's work; documentation of the hundreds
of people who have participated in PRH programs; and numerous
photographs. The book shows how the PRH model for art and social
engagement not only applies to Houston, but can be adopted by
diverse communities everywhere. Contributors. Ryan N. Dennis, Nonya
