Events › Reception: Be The Change Presented by AHH

"Be The Change" is a powerful exhibition by Artists Helping the Homeless (AHH) that explores the journey from hardship to healing through the eyes and hands of those who have lived it. Featuring artwork by individuals once unhoused and the artists who support them, the show transforms personal struggle into shared strength. Through paintings, photography, sculpture and digital media, AHH residents reveal the human stories behind homelessness — stories of creativity, courage and community. The exhibition includes “The Car Launch,” a performance and video installation symbolizing renewal and the shift from crisis to stability.

Presented by AHH, a social service organization serving seven counties in Kansas and Missouri, the exhibition reflects its mission: to meet people where they are and help them move forward through compassion and creativity.
