Welcome to the Art From The Streets podcast! In this episode, you will hear from Dawn Day, an artist who has been a part of Art From The Streets since 2019. Dawn talks about where she is from, how art has always been a part of her life, the struggles she has as an artist experiencing homelessness, how she discovered Art From The Streets, the themes she incorporates within her art, the difference that Art From The Streets is making in her life, and more.  

Art From The Streets is a nonprofit based in Austin, Texas. The mission of Art From the Streets is to provide a safe and encouraging environment in which the positive spirit and creativity for those experiencing homelessness are nurtured through their own artistic expression. These artistic endeavors form a pathway to self-determination by means of the sense of achievement, social connections, and income generated through the pursuit of their art. Because focusing on housing alone does not achieve other equally important goals that are relevant and motivating to improving and sustaining a quality of life. 

When you purchase artwork from Art From The Streets, 95% of the profit of every piece you buy goes directly to the artist.
