The Year of the Arts Presents: Rick Lowe

Rick Lowe has moved from creating paintings and sculptures dealing with social issues to an art practice that directly engages in the life of the community. What began as a volunteer effort to restore a series of row houses in the historical Third Ward district of Houston turned into Project Row Houses, an arts and cultural community center, which now offers programs that encompass arts and culture, neighborhood revitalization, low-income housing, education, historic preservation, and various community services.
