Southern Survey Biennial III
On View: October 3 – February 14, 2027
Project Row Houses (PRH) is proud to present the third iteration of our Southern Survey Biennial: a survey of recent works created by contemporary visual artists living and working in “The South.” Artists based in the southern region of the United States are encouraged to apply for an installation in one of PRH’s seven art houses located on Holman St.
This opportunity aims to highlight the collective creativity of southerners while providing more viable opportunities specific to the Southern region, specifically residents of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
Selected installations will receive a $5,000 stipend that can be used towards materials, artist fee(s), and creative labor. One artist will receive a $25,000 prize that will be selected by a guest juror. Project Row Houses will cover travel and lodging throughout the week of the installation period, leading up to the opening reception and community market in early October.

PUBLIC PROGRAMS
PRH programs touch the lives of our Third Ward neighbors building better lives for themselves and their children, creative entrepreneurs with the drive to take their businesses to the next level, and artists developing a social practice that elevates and celebrates culture, community, and creativity.
Although PRH’s African-American roots are planted deeply in Third Ward, the work of PRH extends far beyond the borders of a neighborhood in transition. The PRH model for art and social engagement applies not only to Houston, but also to diverse communities around the world.
OUR WORK
Seven artists endowed this site with the energy of hope, vision, and collective creative action. We hope you enjoy this reflection on how Project Row Houses came to be and the impact it has had on generations of artists and neighbors–and we hope, on you.
