Art for the Homeless

Art for the Homeless is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals experiencing homelessness through the transformative power of art. Our mission is to provide opportunities for self-expression, skill-building, and financial independence by offering art instruction, hands-on workshops, and access to donated materials and supplies. We believe in the healing and unifying potential of art, creating spaces for personal growth and community connection.

Through public exhibitions, we showcase the incredible talent and resilience of our artists, sharing their stories and breaking down stigmas. Additionally, our online marketplace serves as a platform to sell their work, helping them gain financial stability and self-esteem. At Art for the Homeless, we aim to inspire hope, foster creativity, and bring people together through the universal language of art.
