12 min - AFTS Trailer Season 4
At Art From the Streets, our mission is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals experiencing homelessness can express themselves through art. Through creativity, our artists build confidence, form meaningful connections, and generate income — opening pathways to greater self-determination and personal growth.
Because while housing is vital, we believe that healing, dignity, and community are just as essential to improving and sustaining quality of life.
In each episode, you’ll hear the unique stories behind the art — voices of resilience, creativity, and humanity from the AFTS community.
