The mission of Art From the Streets is to provide a safe and encouraging environment in which 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. These episodes hope to share more of each artist's story.
After 15 successful years, Kelley Worden is leaving her position as executive director of Art From the Streets. She visited with us in the studio to talk about the growth and accomplishments she has witnessed and contributed to during her tenure at the organization.
