Stories From The Streets: Up Close With Real Change

Real Change presents Stories From The Streets, an exhibit of the Real Change Portrait Project in the Level 8 Gallery at the Central Library from April 12 to June 16, 2024. This powerful exhibit invites you to get to know Real Change vendors — the hard-working homeless and low-income people who have been selling Real Change newspapers on the streets of Seattle since 1994. Learn more about the lived experiences of those experiencing homelessness, and the causes of and potential solutions to homelessness and poverty with these resources.
