Loved visiting Project Row Houses! I went with a class from UH and love the work they are doing within the community. Rick Lowe is an awesome artist and great guy! All the staff were friendly and welcoming. They have rotations of events and exhibits up and the community of Third Ward is full of rich history!

Loved the place, very educational on the birth rate during delivery or getting the health needed for Africa America women, black women are less to get the health needed during pregnant or care than other race of women.

Came on Sunday, waited until 12:20 when the website said it would open at noon. Buildings were closed, nobody answered the phone. Waited 10 more minutes because we had been really excited. Still nobody. Anybody know why?

I don't understand the rave 4.8 review for this place.
I went there with my family, and
#1. It states that there would be 22 homes to look into. There were only 6 homes that were open, the rest were either closed because artist rent them out, and the other ones have actual occupants living in there so that was disappointing.
#2 I feel that the information presented wasn't clear only in two houses: the one house about community gentrification, and the one showing some staple areas in third ward like fast food restaurants, the other houses had scattered substance.
I personally think they could do WAY better, and open all 22 houses on one street instead of 5 on Elgin, and the rest at emancipation park, etc. , and have artist display in all the homes.
Not worth the visit.

Contemporary art linked to the history of the emancipation era simply by the fact that the art is located in the row houses. Much of the art asks the viewer to make their own connection. If you haven't made the connection for yourself, Project Row Houses is a must visit.

The people there are amazing. They not only teach you about current community problems, but they share with you their passion to do something about it. You definitely will not regret going. And if you are guided by Anderson, or anyone else for that matter, take the moment to know something about them. Because that's what he taught me: happiness comes from getting to know the people around you, if it's at least their favorite color, so you'll share their friendship, and their memory will not be forgotten.

I had no idea this art installation even existed until a few months ago. I decided to take my kids (even though they are a little young to understand the exhibits) I thought exposing them to some local art would be great and I am so glad we went! Creative & though-provoking. I was really impressed. The only downside is when we went (on a Thursday afternoon) a lot of the houses were closed or locked not sure why. We still enjoyed this local gem in 3rd Ward!

not sure how u could ever say a bad thing abt PRH. supporting and expressing the talent and work of our great city (and those outside of htx). try to never miss a round opening..the artist talks are well worth it.

This neighborhood institution preserves and restores housing in one of Houston's oldest remaining traditionally black neighborhoods while simultaneously providing space for community events and building resources for community organizing

The Project Row Houses In The Third Ward shows the culture of African Americans living in Houston. Places like the Project Row Houses that inform people about the current problems in the neighborhoods are a great way to find out the culture of an area because of the problems that they are facing. Historically, Project Row Houses has been a catalyst for transforming neighborhoods in the Third Ward to become a safer and better place to live through the art and celebration of African American culture and history.
The characteristics that make up the Project Row Houses and the African American community are the community coming together to help each other, and teaching both themselves and others about their culture and what they stand for. This culture is unique compared to others because of the sense of belonging and knowing that your community and neighborhood have your back. The Project Row Houses also help the African Americans find their cultural identity so that they know that they are a part of something bigger than themselves.
