Two years ago, Metro Nashville’s Office of Homeless Services promised “Carrie” and her partner “Greg” housing. What came instead of stable housing were evictions, lost documents and a return to the woods.

Daybreak Arts colors outside the clichés
This summer, three remarkable artists are set to bring sometimes-overlooked creative visions to the gallery experience in Downtown Nashville. As part of the curated Art Between the Avenues series, nonprofit artist collaborative Daybreak Arts will activate Gallery 64 inside the historic Arcade Arts venue, re-imagining the space as three immersive mini-galleries that promise to entertain and engage gallery-goers.

The displays amplify the creative voices of Sidney Sparkle, Blue and Bandy — three artists whose personal journeys through homelessness inform their distinctive artistic styles and stories. Daybreak Arts curated this groundbreaking show to highlight how art can become a vehicle for survival, transformation and profound human connection. The organization is dedicated to utilizing the arts to create income and connection for those who’ve experienced homelessness.This show is the latest display in a mini-trend of local exhibitions by artists who’ve lived on Nashville’s streets, beginning with the excellent “Do You Know How Good You Are?” show by Room In The Inn artists at Julia Martin Gallery in June.

In recent weeks we’ve lost some talented musicians, and as a lover of ALL types of music I’d like to pay tribute to them here.
I started creating zines by invitation of Stagger Press and The Contributor.
In early June, we conducted conversations with Rosanne Haggerty, the CEO of Community Solutions, and Dr. Sam Tsemberis, the founder of the Housing First approach. You can read the interview with Haggerty on page 4 and the one with Tsemberis was printed in our last issue.The questions we asked were developed by several members of the Vendor Leadership Team. Shawn Lesley served as their representative and conducted the in-person interviews with assistance from Judy. After talking to both experts, we felt extremely energized. Since then several members of the Vendor Leadership Team asked us about our impressions, and we decided to share those with all our readers.
