Artclectic, POVA partner for community project

In celebration of our 25th year, Artclectic has partnered with Poverty and the Arts on several projects to highlight how this organization uses art to help homeless individuals gain housing and legal income.

There are two ways you can enjoy our annual art show while helping the greater Nashville community.

Artclectic is proud to offer a pre-recorded webinar with representatives from Poverty and the Arts. Tune in for this inspiring video using this link, and learn how this worthy organization uses art to help homeless individuals gain housing and legal income. You will also meet several of the artists whose artwork will be available for sale during Artclectic.

2. Donate to POVA.
In addition to offering the sale of artwork created by POVA artists, we are also sponsoring an art supply drive to benefit Poverty and the Arts. Click here to view the wishlist. Families are asked to donate professional-grade art supplies or may donate funds through Paypal, Kindful, or directly through the Poverty and the Arts website.
