At Atrium 916, creativity fuels sustainability. We empower artists, innovators, and entrepreneurs to design eco-friendly solutions, strengthen Sacramento’s circular economy, and reimagine what’s possible for people and the planet. The ocean, air and our soils are filling up with plastic, it is unavoidable. We need to make big changes and most importantly work together with government and businesses to protect our environment.

Atrium 916 serves over 850 local creatives in the greater Sacramento region, providing crucial support and testing grounds for sustainable solutions to flourish.
We pilot, test, and build systems that drive impact and solve problems sustainably. We are the doers who come to the table with community-driven solutions and the capability to implement them. Atrium 916 is a hub of people, creativity, ideas, and solutions that accelerate the circular economy.
SHORT TERM GOALS: Keep our doors open & our lights on, with so many grants being redacted.
LONG TERM GOAL: We are actively searching for the perfect real estate for our permanent building.
The Atrium is committed to fostering resilient communities, economies, and ecosystems, building a kind, sustainable future for all beings and their respective environments. We are devoted to innovating and redesigning systems to produce a creative, inclusive, adaptive, regenerative, and omni-considerate future that works for all.
Deep-rooted, systemic diversity is essential to our ability to survive and thrive. We understand significant disparities persist in economic opportunity and environmental well-being in our region and beyond. We nourish and foster ideas that grow from within our community because community-driven solutions are destined to thrive when given the necessary resources and support. We commit to continually innovate to be that support.
The Atrium acknowledges that equity does not currently exist in the arts or environmental efforts and is committed to advocating for equitable resources to support and serve multiple diverse populations. We are persistent in lowering barriers of entry and diversifying means of communication. Atrium is committed to proactive outreach to multiple diverse communities to support involvement and engagement in opportunities, programs, and resources and provide accessibility and inclusivity in all aspects.
