Art From the Streets sale returns in October

Art From the Streets’ 32nd annual art show will take place at the Blue Genie Art Bazaar on Oct. 12 and 13 this year. The show and sale is composed of art from unhoused artists, with 95 percent of each purchase going directly back to the artist. “For 31 years, Art From the Streets has been a beacon of creativity and hope for Austin’s unhoused and at-risk community,” Kelley Worden, executive director of Art From the Streets, said in a statement to the press. “Our Annual Show and Sale is more than just an art exhibition – it’s a powerful demonstration of how artistic expression can transform lives. By providing a platform for these talented individuals to showcase and sell their work, we’re not just supporting artists; we’re fostering dignity, self-determination, and meaningful connections within our community.” Those unable to attend the show can donate, volunteer or purchase items for the organization’s art studio from the Art From the Streets Amazon wish list.
