Two events this Wednesday, March 18

On Wednesday, March 18 at 3:30 PM, the Alabama State Council on the Arts is hosting an artist talk and panel discussion for “A4: An Exhibition of 12 Alabama African-American Artists.” Here’s the flyer for that event:

And later that evening, at 5:30, the Rosa Parks Museum is hosting Macarthur Fellow, Rick Lowe, who will discuss Project Row Houses. Part of the description from the project’s website reads:

Project Row Houses (PRH) is a community-based arts and culture non-profit organization in Houston’s northern Third Ward, one of the city’s oldest African American neighborhoods. It was founded in 1993 by artist and community activist Rick Lowe, along with James Bettison (1958-1997), Bert Long (1940-2013), Jesse Lott, Floyd Newsum, Bert Samples, and George Smith, all seeking to establish a positive, creative and transformative presence in this historic community.
