NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Poverty and the Arts is partnering with Urban Housing Solutions to launch, the Shared Walls Art Program (SWAP). SWAP will offer income, resources, and confidence to POVA artists who are impacted by homelessness. Through a sponsorship platform with companies and individuals, works by POVA artists will also be given to low income individuals or families moving into affordable housing provided by Urban Housing Solutions. “Owning and hanging art creates a sense of warmth and belonging in any space, and we believe that it should be available to everyone,” says Nicole Minyard, Founder and Executive Director of Poverty and the Arts.
