PRH Curator and Programming Manager Cydney Pickens: "The Southern Survey Biennial is extremely important initiative, as there are few national platforms that specifically spotlight and reward artists from the South. We are humbled to showcase such dynamic local talent in our neighborhood of Third Ward at the historic row houses on Holman Street." Pickens worked with Kimberli Gant, Curator of Modern & Contemporary Art at the Brooklyn Museum of Art who, as Guest Juror, Gant will select one artist from among those featured to receive the $25,000 Dr. Dina Alsowayel and Tony Chase PRH Southern Survey Biennial Prize.

The Round opens Saturday, October 12^th with Porch Talks from the artists at 3pm, then the opening, community market, and zydeco band in the courtyard until 7PM.

This is a free, family-friendly event and will be held rain or shine. The Southern Survey Biennial II runs Wednesdays through Sundays, noon to 5PM, until February 9, 2025.
