- Summary:
- Project Row Houses was a successful public art program founded by local artists in inner-city Houston. Starting from boarding up abandoned houses and creating a "drive-by" exhibit to providing free refurbished houses for single mothers in college and an after-school programs for local kids, they had helped to revive their section of Third Ward, a historically African-American neighborhood. "Third Ward TX" is the story of how Project Row Houses used the tools of design, art and architecture to transform two blocks of "shotgun" houses reminiscent of New Orleans and other Black communities across the South into exhibition space, classrooms, gardens, and residential space. But their success in reducing crime, and making their "campus" a magnet for art enthusiasts, families, and local residents, also attracts deep-pocket real estate developers.
