Humble Beauty: Skid Row Artists (2013) (trailer)

The powerful story of how art saved the lives of talented homeless and indigent men and women who, despite a daily struggle for survival, create art in the worst area of Los Angeles known as Skid Row, the homeless capital of America. It’s also about the ubiquity of art in human life.  People strive to make art, no matter how humble the circumstances, and in return art transforms their lives.

Audiences have found the program empowering and inspirational.  Viewers have said they will never view a homeless person in the same way again.  HUMBLE BEAUTY has given voices and faces to homeless artists who are overflowing with intelligence, humor, and creativity.  Their stunning artwork speaks for itself.
