Daybreak Arts is going to be featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show!
In September 2025, The Kelly Clarkson Show flew our Founder & Executive Director, Nicole, and Daybreak Artist, Kateri, to NYC to film a special segment sharing their Daybreak story and showcasing Kateri’s artwork live on set.
Tune in next week on November 12th, on daytime TV, where the episode will feature interviews with Nicole and Kateri, as well as feature images of artwork by Daybreak Artists MAJ and Edwin Lockridge—bringing their talents to a national TV audience for the first time.
Thank you Kelly Clarkson for your kind words about Daybreak Arts and our artists’ work.

Daybreak Arts provides free supplies, equipment, and studio tools across disciplines, removing barriers so artists in our Collective can create and explore their work.

Our workshops and field experiences give artists hands-on training, exposure to new mediums, connections with the arts community, and opportunities for entrepreneurial growth and professional development.
-
Daybreak Arts helps artists build portfolios, exhibit locally and online, access diverse income opportunities, and earn the majority of sales and commissions, supporting both their creative growth and financial independence.
“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
