Art As Testimony: The Power of Lived Experience is an evocative and deeply moving art exhibition that amplifies the voices of artists with lived experience of homelessness and/or incarceration.

The 2024 National Lived Experience Leadership Conference is a conference designed by and for people with lived experience of homelessness. Activists, local leaders, and people with lived experience of homelessness will gather to build power and unity – and mobilize for action to end homelessness.


This partnership, between Local Color and Destination: Home supports Artists and creatives impacted by the criminal justice system and homelessness. Sales of artworks will go toward the restitution of incarcerated individuals, and to artists who have lived experiences with homelessness.
