“The Public Art Program, founded in 1994, provides opportunities for participating artists to take risks, explore new ways to work within a community and provide the community with the unique experience of working directly with artists. There are seven installation/exhibition houses out of the original twenty-two shotgun houses. Three times each year, these houses are part of a "Round" of installations where 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 from throughout the United States and the world visit Project Row Houses each year.”

“Neighborhood Development activities include strategic partnerships to support developing and implementing a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy for the historic Third Ward. PRH participates in collaborations to prevent longtime residents' displacement and enhance their economic and social well-being. The historic Eldorado Building (c.1939), included in neighborhood development initiatives, has been renovated. 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.”
