About Sol Collective
Sol Collective is a community-based 501(c)(3) partnership whose mission is to provide artistic, cultural, and educational programming, promote social justice, and empower youth through art, activism, music, and media experience. The Sol Collective Arts and Cultural Center is a 3,200 square foot space providing art exhibitions, community workshops, youth programming, and a platform for public organizing. Started in 2005, Sol Collective provides a space for youth training, development, and education in the artistic and media disciplines in an effort to address the issues that face historically underserved and marginalized communities.
A cultural hub that transforms to fit the expressive needs of the community it serves, Sol Collective’s staff operates alongside diverse executive and advisory boards consisting of artists, educators, activists, and traditional health specialists. The center has provided accessible, multicultural, multigenerational programming for the Sacramento community and beyond for almost 20 years and is dedicated to creating and facilitating accessible art, media, technology, and self-care education, resources, a platform, and safe space for youth and communities of color.
