See how Project Row Houses is transforming Houston's Third Ward through art!
HOUSTON, Texas -- Thirty years ago, Houston's Holman Street was one of the most dangerous areas in the city, a place known for crime and drugs. Today, it's home to one of the most well-known social sculptures in the world.
"What the city saw as poverty and all the social ills that come along with that, blight and crime, artists saw as an opportunity to really use their gifts, skills and talents to enhance and transform the community," said Eureka Gilkey, Executive Director of Project Row Houses. "The foundation of Project Row Houses public art program is our Artist Rounds," said Eureka Gilkey, Executive Director of Project Row Houses."Twice a year we invite artists, mid-career and emerging artists, to respond to what's happening in the neighborhood."
"One of the ways you can give an offering to this altar is actually to play the piano," said Gipson."So you can come and play the piano as part of the piece. It's meant to be interactive just like all of the other objects or offerings you can bring, you can bring music.
