Homeless artists find innovative platform to sell work
Spare Change News - USA 09 March 2019
ArtLifting is an online project that helps disabled and homeless artists in Boston and across the USA sell their work by connecting them with buyers all over the world. One such artist is Jeffrey Powers, a former Spare Change News vendor who was homeless in Boston for four years. He explains how the project helped him sell his work at a significantly higher price than he made selling it on the street, and has inspired him to continue painting. (1439 Words) - By Natalie Hill
