Daybreak Arts’ 10th Annual Illuminate Art Gala
Daybreak Arts is thrilled to announce its much-anticipated 10th annual Illuminate Art Gala, an unforgettable evening that blends art, philanthropy, and community on April 6. This milestone event will be held from 6 PM to 9 PM at Events at 1900 in Nashville, TN, with an exclusive VIP Hour from 5 PM to 6 PM.
Daybreak Arts’ annual fundraising gala is a one-of-a-kind Nashville event that provides a premier platform for artists experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity to showcase their work and earn income, as well as help the organization raise much-needed funds to provide studio space, art supplies, and more so the artists can keep creating. Join us on April 6 as we celebrate ten years of showcasing and supporting artists in Nashville, TN. Since 2014, Daybreak Arts has paid out over $80,000 to unhoused and housing-insecure artists in Nashville earned from their creative talent and skills.
