Art from the streets is a philanthropic organization that provides resources to create and sell artwork to individuals experiencing homelessness. The organization is currently limited on space and resources and is looking to provide Austin and the homeless community community with more capacity and resources. LSI believes in the the AFTS Mission and developed this project as a pro-bono effort to promote the organization and attract investment. The proposed facility provides a large studio space for the creative community to create their works, as well as a gallery to sell their pieces. The facility also houses admin support offices as well as a large for-rent community space for events to help generate revenue to support the program. This program creates a safe place for the homeless community to be connected to resources and express their creative individuality. It also engages the greater Austin community and connects those experiencing homelessness and the larger community through art.
