Art From The Street is a free and open studio in Austin, Texas that serves the homeless community. Art from the Streets was founded in 1991 to provide a safe and encouraging space for the positive spirit of artistic expression of those who need it most. For the past 25 years AFTS has been a place for creating amazing work while providing insight into the human beings who brought them to life.
