Fresh stART is a program of the Homeless Alliance designed to provide people experiencing homelessness in Oklahoma City with a supportive environment for creating art.
In addition to providing a potential source of income, open studio art programs enable people experiencing homelessness to express themselves creatively, manage emotional issues, develop social skills through positive interaction with a peer group, and develop confidence and skills transferable to employment.
Fresh stART hosts studio time three times per week at the Homeless Alliance’s Day Shelter located on their WestTown Homeless Resource Campus. Art supplies are donated by community members and monetary donations help offset the costs to operate the program.
