Third Ward TX

PRH began as an effort to inject the rich art and music and sense of community back into the Third Ward, but the founders soon realized the residents had ideas of their own. PRH co-founder Jesse Lott recalls that during the first days of construction, lifelong resident Earnestine Courtney told him, “If you want to do something for real … you’ll clean up this place and get these junkies out of here.” Since it opened in 1993, PRH has taken on programs not just for artists, but for youth, young mothers and musicians. See how they got their houses in a row at today’s 6 p.m. screening, followed by a talk with filmmakers Nancy Bless and Noland Walker. 2521 Holman.
