Friends of the homeless – Arts Program

Friends of the Homeless art class offers hope to Springfield’s less fortunate.
Alicia Shibley arrives at the Friends of the Homeless shelter in Springfield on Tuesday afternoons, gathers her art supplies and opens up new worlds for some of the shelter residents.
Alicia Shibley has a home. Her students don’t.
Shibley graduated from Holyoke Community College in 2013, went on to Springfield College and is now an intern and arts program facilitator at Friends of the Homeless in Springfield. Her work there brings her in contact with homeless clients who have taken to painting, poetry and other art forms as a way of expressing themselves.
