    The UrbanArt Commission, as part of their Arts Build Communities Grant through ArtsMemphis, is hosting a lecture and a screening of the documentary Third Ward, TX, produced by Memphis native Noland Walker. The screening will take place on Friday April 11 at 7:00 PM in the Memphis College of Art Callicott Auditorium, at 1930 Poplar Avenue in Overton Park. The documentary focuses on Project-Row Houses, a program founded by Houston artist Rick Lowe, which was established on the principle that art and the community creating it can "revitalize even the most depressed inner-city neighborhoods, for the mutual good of existing and future residents." The program was designed, therefore, to create a sense of community through art, culture, and history in the Houston, TX Third Ward neighborhood. With this mission in mind, Walker produced Third Ward, TX to tell the story of this Houston neighborhood's struggle, demise, and re-growth through the Project-Row Houses program. In celebration of the film, the UrbanArt Commission is hosting a screening, with producer Noland Walker in attendance to take questions after the film. In conjunction with this screening and to express the story, process, and future of the Project-Row Houses program in Third Ward, TX, director Rick Lowe will be giving a lecture on May 8th, also in the Callicott Auditorium, at 6:30 PM. The UAC was established in 1997 through the collaborative efforts of the Memphis Arts Council and the Shelby County Government. The mission of the UrbanArt Commission is to create a dynamic, vibrant, nurturing community through art and design. The UAC is funded in part by ArtsMemphis Arts, Tennessee Arts Commission and the Hyde Foundation.
