Your first order of art is presented on a golden plate; it could be clay modeling, mask painting, or canvas painting.
Your paint palette and brush water are both renewed, and your artwork is matched with a locally produced kombucha or a hot pot of tea.
Sacramento.Shop, an Atrium 916 gallery, features upcycled, eco-friendly distinctive art and inventive products with a zero-waste twist. Tire wallets and messenger bags, reusable water balloons, and even a Chinese takeout container that has been transformed into an amp and battery-operated Bluetooth speaker are among the items on display. The Atrium Gallery Store promotes creativity and inventiveness with everything from clothing to technology, wall art to kitchen items.
A baby grand piano, as well as tablet games that test your recycling knowledge, are open and ready for everyone to enjoy. Customers are encouraged to return empty product packaging, which includes everything from beauty care containers to empty candles. Atrium 916 collects the empty containers and delivers them to the manufacturers, who sanitize them and re-fill their products for a zero-waste system.
“When working with local community creators who are eager to innovate for the sake of the earth while enjoying lower costs with virgin packaging, the zero-waste, extreme producer responsibility, and circular economy model makes sense,” says Shira Lane, CEO of Atrium 916. “I hope that people realize how our collaboration of artists, inventors, and creatives exemplifies what can and must be done to create a future in which we may all live. One who is in tune with the planet and with one another.”Atrium 916 is open six days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the exception of Mondays. Located at 1020 Front Street in Sacramento’s historic Old Town.

Its programs include the Shop, Gallery, and Art-café. At the Atrium, where producer responsibility is paramount, Circular Economy Innovation drives everything.
