Daybreak Arts Exhibition at Lane Motor Museum

Daybreak Arts, a nonprofit social enterprise dedicated to empowering artists impacted by homelessness, is thrilled to announce a special exhibition and gala fundraiser in partnership with Nashville’s Lane Motor Museum. The event will take place on Thursday, November 14th, from 6-8 PM at Lane Motor Museum (702 Murfreesboro Pike, Nashville, TN 37210), and will feature original artwork by Daybreak Artist Edwin Lockridge, known for his creative incorporation of found car parts into his pieces.

Attendees will have the opportunity to view and purchase Edwin Lockridge’s one-of-a-kind artworks, all of which reflect his innovative approach to blending automotive elements with fine art. For those who may not find the perfect piece, donations can be made directly to Daybreak Arts to support their ongoing work with artists facing homelessness.

“Edwin’s art exemplifies the resourcefulness and creativity we see in so many of our artists, who often use unconventional materials to express themselves,” said Nicole Minyard, Executive Director of Daybreak Arts. “We are honored to partner with Lane Motor Museum to showcase his work and celebrate the resilience of artists like Edwin.”

In addition to the art exhibition, Lane Motor Museum will be generously providing refreshments for guests throughout the evening. The event is free and open to the public, though RSVPs are required. RSVP HERE: https://lanemuseum.wufoo.com/forms/z9s0gdz06hwyp4

This fundraiser plays a critical role in advancing Daybreak Arts’ mission to uplift artists experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. Funds raised from the event will directly support Daybreak Arts’ programs, which provide supplies, studio space, education, and exhibition and income opportunities for unhoused and housing insecure artists in Nashville.

“Attending events like this is an essential way for the community to rally behind the talents of Nashville’s most vulnerable artists,” said Nicole Minyard. “Every donation helps create a safety net for our artists, giving them the freedom to explore their creativity, build new skills, and flourish in their artistic careers.”
