Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Project Row Houses empowers people and enriches communities through engagement, art, and direct action.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Project Row Houses is a community platform that enriches lives through art.

  • The Public Art Program, founded in 1994, provides opportunities for participating artists to take risks, explore new ways to work within a community, and offer the community a unique experience of working directly with artists. There are seven installation/exhibition houses out of the original twenty-two shotgun houses. Three times a year, these houses are part of a "Round" of installations in which site-specific art is created in each house. Artists and artist collaborations participated in public art programming, including residencies, fellowships, lectures, artist talks, and installations. Over 25,000 people throughout the United States and the world visit Project Row Houses annually.

    Expenses $1,059,036 · Revenue $22,856

  • Community Enrichment programs include Creative Careers, grocery distributions, small-business incubation, youth education, and community workshops on health. The programs center on providing professional skills training, mentorship, and community-focused workshops.

    Expenses $771,818

  • Neighborhood Development activities include strategic partnerships to support the development and implementation of a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy for the historic Third Ward. PRH collaborates to prevent the displacement of longtime residents and enhance their economic and social well-being. The restored historic Eldorado Building (c.1939) is a neighborhood development initiative. The second-floor ballroom is used for PRH programming, partnership, and rental events, while the ground-floor spaces are used for exhibitions, meetings, PRH archives, artists' studios, and incubation. All Eldorado programs seek to raise the collective awareness and appreciation of the Eldorado Ballroom and the surrounding community.

    Expenses $232,631 · Grants $800 · Revenue $396,953

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
