One of AFTS’s newest board members, Molly Batschelet, sat down with us to discuss her work with homeless populations - including veterans - the importance of the term ‘housing first’ and what motivated her to become involved with AFTS.

Art from the Streets is a nonprofit based in Austin, Texas. The mission of AFTS is to provide a safe and encouraging environment in which the positive spirit and creativity of those experiencing homelessness is 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!⁠⁠
