On our first podcast for Season 2, fine arts professor and award-winning photographer Eli Durst sits down with our host Anne Boyd to discuss his art, why he encourages viewers to interpret his photographs for themselves and his recent workshop at the Art from the Streets studio.

Artist - Layle Murray

The mission of Art From the Streets is to provide a safe and encouraging environment in which those experiencing homelessness are nurtured through their own artistic expression. These artistic endeavors form a pathway to self-determination by means of the sense of achievement, social connections, and income generated through the pursuit of their art. 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. These episodes hope to share more of each artist's story.
