Mission

Atrium 916 is a collaborative hub for creative sustainable entrepreneurs- a Creative Innovation Center for Sustainability. Atrium 916 engineers with the community, and for the community, impactful systems, solutions, art installations & products that build the circular economy that serves the community. It is our mission to foster omni-considerate solutions for a kind, creative and sustainable future for all species and their environments.

We incubate Sacramento Creative leaders and pilot innovative local community solutions that will lead us to a kind, equitable, sustainable, and creative future.

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.

Needs

We critically need to update our patio for safety, with furniture and security. Adding more upcycled tables and patio furniture for the growing amount of creatives and visitors we serve and fixing the ones we have that were vandalized last year. Additional security cameras with expanded wifi access and more interactive art activations for Old Sacramento Front Street.

Deep-rooted, systemic diversity is essential to our ability to survive and thrive.
