Art From the Streets is a feature length documentary about homelessness, art, community service, courage and hope. The film tells the story of an extraordinary, grassroots program in Austin, TX for homeless artists. Every Tuesday and Thursday at the Austin Resource Center for the Homeless, this program offers homeless people a place and supplies to produce art. Over one weekend, at the end of the year, they have a sale of the work, with the proceeds going to the artists. In 2005, the proceeds from the sale exceeded $80,000. The sale not only provides much needed funds to the artists, but it also gives them a unique sense of accomplishment and self-worth which are sorely lacking among homeless people. By following five of the artists over the course of a year, we learn about their daily struggle to survive, their passion for art, and how this all-volunteer program helps the artists accomplish their goals while enriching the lives of all involved. Viewers will visit homeless camps, learn of the daily challenges of street life, and witness the strengths of human character.
