Project Row Houses Seeking Artists

Project Row Houses Seeking Artists

Hello my name is Page Neal and I work for Project Row Houses. Project Row Houses is currently collaborating with the music venue/coffee shop "The Well" to throw a party that raises funds to benefit Project Row Houses' Young Mother's Residency Program.

The party is schedule for June 25th at the "Well." There will be dj-s, a band, a dance troupe all performing at the venue. We are currently asking artists to participate in the event by auctioning off a piece of work, with all profits donated to the move out fund for the Young Mother's Residency Program. We are also excited about artists doing an installation/ performance that would attract a larger audience.

This years current young mothers and children will be leaving Project Row Houses at the end of the month and the new young mothers and children will be arriving in mid-July. All of the procceeds from the event will be used to assist with the move out costs and will also be used to purchase new household goods for the incoming mothers and children.

The entrance fee to the event is either 10 dollars or a newly purchased household appliance (ie a set of glasses, silverware, shower curtain, etc.)

I know that it is late notice, but it could be a a really fun event. Let either Robert Pruitt or myself know if you are interested in participating.

Thanks so much,
