Kevin Lane joins us for this episode to talk about his childhood and what he enjoys about being an artist at Art From The Streets. Kevin talks about growing up in Denver and his experience being the only black student at Catholic school. He talks about why he moved to Austin, what it's been like raising his daughter, the styles of art that he is drawn to create, and what his favorite part of Art From The Streets is. 

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. 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.

Original artwork is for sale in art shows throughout Austin, Texas. At these shows in the community the artist receives 95% of sales. Artists receive 60% of the final price of online artwork and merchandise sales.

Check out some of Kevin's artwork on the website here.
