Serving Sustainability
Mobile cafe dishes up art, not food
INSIDE SACRAMENTO
By: Jessica Laskey
Atrium 916, a nonprofit collaborative hub for artists and creative entrepreneurs, has launched a Zero Waste Mobile Art Cafe that serves art, not food. Housed in a 1950s horse trailer upcycled by artist Mike Jones and powered by solar, the cafe travels around town to offer inclusive art activities paired with locally brewed KC Kombucha. Take a seat at one of the bistro tables to paint on a provided canvas or your own reusable tote bag and learn about sustainability with the cafe’s Recycle Challenge game.
“We have been serving art at our location in Old Sacramento, but we wanted a way that we could reach people and serve healing arts where they are while providing information and fun education on sustainability,” says Shira Lane, designer and executive director of Atrium 916.
