These art workshops are available for adults, teens, and youth. No previous artistic training or skills are required to participate!

“This holiday season, I plan to use the income I earn at Daybreak Arts to give my son a good holiday this year. It’s important to me to spend time with those I love.”

— Daybreak Artist, MAJ

 

Give Art That Gives Back

When you shop and gift original artwork, you provide direct financial support that allows our artists to enjoy the holiday season as well. 70% of your original 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.

Surprise an art lover in your life with a Daybreak gift card!

The perfect gift for anyone looking to decorate their home or office.
