COLLAB: Art, Earth & Community

“Collab” is a dynamic celebration of creativity, sustainability, and community, taking place on Friday, April 25th as part of Earth Week. This vibrant event will feature music, drinks, and art, and will kick off the final five days leading up to Big Day of Giving. Guests will have the opportunity to meet and connect with some of the nonprofits participating in this year’s Big Day of Giving, the Sacramento Region Community Foundation’s annual giving event, happening on May 1st.

Bring your cup, for a zero waste experience in beautiful Old Sacramento. The bar has drinks and the event has art, music and good vibes. Engage with many creative artists either live painting, making jewelry or artists working on community installations and engage with amazing nonprofits in our community, and the projects they are cultivating for our community. Meet in person the organizations you would like to donate to this year for Big Day of Giving.

This is an outdoor spring evening event, happening in romantic Old Sacramento by the river at the Atrium 916 complex. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of engaging activities, including:

● Get Creative at the Art Café: Unique art-making experience where you can sculpt a clay magnet or paint your own canvas or reusable tote bag.
