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.
