Episode 13: Using Art to Serve Our Community: Art From the Streets

Art is for everyone — and it can change lives. That's what organizations like Art From the Streets are proving, and I LOVE supporting causes that bring art to the people. All people. That's why I'm so excited that I got to sit down with Art From the Street's amazing executive director, Kelley Worden. In this episode, Kelley and I discuss everything this INCREDIBLE organization is doing for the unhoused population of Austin, TX.  They create a safe and supportive space for the unhoused people of Austin, TX to come together and create, even sell, their work. And I'm so proud to partner with this organization. Because we ALL have a fundamental need to create and express ourselves. And while the vehicle may be art, the purpose is connection and community.  In this episode, Kelley and I talk more about: The mission behind Art From the Streets How Art From the Streets is making an impact that goes beyond painting Their annual gala/fundraiser happening on April 12 (which I will be helping out with!)   Resources Mentioned: Learn more about Art From the Streets: https://www.instagram.com/artfromthestreetsaustin/   Learn more about the Give Art a Home Gala: https://artfromthestreets.org/pages/calendar-of-events    Check out the Art From the Streets Podcast: https://artfromthestreets.org/pages/afts-podcast     Make sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don't miss a thing!
