Project Row Houses has invited seven exciting local and national artists, local and national, to engage with the Third Ward and greater Houston Community in the creation of new installations in the Artist Project Houses. The theme, Home. Space. Place. focuses on concepts that are centered in the Third Ward community and others that are generic to all urban neighborhoods. These include ideas of home, identity, culture, struggles and perseverance.

Some artists will draw upon the historical significance of the shotgun house, exploring ideas centered around home, while others will collect memories from Third Ward residents and/or create work in response to the neighborhood. All will create artifacts; capsules of visions and memories that resonate throughout the community. Installations will range from formal to more conceptual, utilizing a variety of materials and processes.

Featured artists: Gregory Michael Carter; Stephanie Diamond; Rashida Ferdinand; Lance Flowers; Cynthia Giachetti; Lisa Qualls; and Stacy-Lynn Waddell.
