“When you’re homeless, you have to be creative to survive. I’m thankful for a place to exercise my craft. Our Artist Collective gives me hope and an opportunity to be who I am.”
-Daybreak Artist, Kateri

Invest in Unhoused and Housing Insecure Artists Today!
When you shop and gift original artwork, you provide direct financial support to the artists who create the work. 70% of your artwork purchase goes directly to the artist.
Last winter, our customers provided Daybreak Artists with thousands of dollars of meaningful income which allowed them invest into their housing, mental health, and building their career and savings.
“Daybreak Arts gives each artist not just the income that comes from selling our work, but the value of knowing someone wanted and valued our work. That gives us an amazing amount of self-esteem which is incredibly important when your art tends to get dismissed.”
— Daybreak Artist, BANDY
Artist Spotlight: Edwin Lockridge
Congratulations to our artist, Edwin Lockridge, who was selected to have his artwork featured on the Nashville Sign billboard as "Artist of the Week" through our collaboration with the Arts & Business Council of Greater Nashville!
The Nashville Sign boasts a truly unique position as the anchor of the 13-lane intersection of Broadway, West End Avenue, and 16th Avenue. This well-known intersection is one of the busiest in the state and is used by residents, tourists, and all forms of city transportation.
