More Ways to Lift Up Our Artists
Teaching Artists
Many of our talented artists love sharing their skills and favorite mediums with others. They are available for hire to teach children, teens, and adults, offering engaging and inspiring art-making experiences for all ages.
Exhibition Partners
Bring the creativity, talent, and stories of our artists into your space. By displaying their artwork for sale in your salon, coffee shop, retail store, lobby, or other venue, you help share their voices, celebrate their work, and amplify their journey toward hope, confidence, and independence.
Email our Program Engagement Director, Ashley, ashley@daybreakarts.org to schedule a consultation.
Recruitment Partners
If you work for a local nonprofit or social service organization, we want to partner with you to establish a seamless point of entry for interested artists. We envision a network of collaborative partners that promotes limited barriers to accessing our resources. Email us about first steps in building this type of partnership.

“How do artists learn about Daybreak Arts?”
Open Table Nashville
Open Table Nashville’s “Where To Turn In Nashville” resource guide is a 160-page printed guide that lists information for more than 300 resources for people experiencing poverty in Middle Tennessee. We helped OTN create an “Arts” section in their annual guide because we believe the arts are just as essential for people in poverty as food, housing, pets, and healthcare! Daybreak Arts (previously POVA) is under both the Arts and Employment sections.
Room in the Inn
Daybreak Arts’ mission and vision was birthed in the Art Room at local homeless service organization, Room In The Inn (RITI). For the first two years as a nonprofit, Daybreak Arts (previously POVA) hosted bi-annual Community Art Days at RITI where community members could attend and create art with Daybreak artists and the homeless participants at RITI. Currently, we partner with Room In The Inn to recruit new artists and refer our active artists to their services.
