MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Daybreak Arts (formerly “Poverty and the Arts”) is a social enterprise nonprofit that creates artistic and economic opportunities for people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity by providing them access to the creative resources needed to achieve personal fulfillment and success.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Daybreak Arts shines light on issues surrounding housing insecurity and strives to provide those who are systematically excluded from opportunity the means to explore their creativity and gain the economic mobility to reclaim access to housing, health, and community. We also work to highlight the creative talents of people impacted by homelessness in order to broaden perspectives and foster meaningful and equitable relationships across communities.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Artist Collective Program Our Artist Collective Program equips people impacted by homelessness with the artistic resources, training, and marketplace to gain financial independence and overcome barriers to employment by leveraging their creative talent to earn meaningful and legal income. Shared Walls Art Program Our Shared Walls Art Program (SWAP) provides an art piece to both a sponsor and a low-income individual or family moving into affordable housing provided by Urban Housing Solutions (UHS). SWAP also provides income, resources, and confidence to artists impacted by homelessness in our Artist Collective Program. Help make art ownership more accessible by becoming a SWAP sponsor today! Community Arts Program Coming soon: Stay tuned. Our Community Arts Program offers access to art making and enhanced quality of life by providing free art supplies for our community through pop-up events with homeless service organizations. The goal of the Community Arts Program is to foster a sense of belonging and inclusion in the community through creating art. This program will be a reimagining of our bi-annual Community Art Days we hosted from 2011-2015.
