The mission of AFTS 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. ⁠⁠⁠Shop online at Art from the Streets!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn more about Art From The Streets and upcoming events! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate to Art From The Streets. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Art From The Streets on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Volunteer at Art From the Streets!⁠⁠
