Sol Collective

Everyone is very friendly and welcoming! They have different types of events all year around and located in the middle of the city

I love this place. I love everything they do for the community. Most of all I love meeting such wonderful like minded people care about the same things I do. Music and art are powerful & moving.

I made a wonderful discovery today when I finally stopped into a place I have passed many time over the years while on my way to somewhere else.
If you are Hispanic or if you aren’t you will love Sol Collective. They describe themselves as «a Center dedicated to Art, Culture & Activism», and what could be better than that.
They display work from local artists, provide workshops, performances, open mike nights, support community gardening and much more.
You can check them out on their facebook page:

This is a very hole in the wall art nook, which makes it special. The art is interesting and the people are friendly. I would love to go to this place when there is an event. It has a great energy.
There is a little shop in the front with quite a bit of Day of the Dead merchandise and little art works.
It’s very easy to fun and had a ton of free street parking.

My disappointment is with the employees of the venue. I have called, emailed several times wanting to reserve the location for various community related events. They have poor administrative skills…

Interesting place, would like to come back for something else than a show. Went to the Halloween show, it was rather entertaining. Game Day food truck was present. I think I would of had a better time if the bands that played were decent, it was all worth it for help world hunger.

You can have a Haunting Good Time @ The Sol Collective!
SITREP
Sol Collective is an amazing gallery! My first experience here was during the Halloween Season. And on that note, Sacramento Unilocal really knows how to do «Dia de los Muertos!» (the Mexican «Day of the Dead!» celebration) up right! And «YES»…our SOULS were collected @ The Sol Collective!
THE LOCALE!
Sol Collective is a wonderful community based partnership & space who let us use their facility to host our Unilocal Elite party.
THEIR SETUP
Their unique mission is to use art, education, and technology as a didactic medium to create mobilization and community empowerment. Their 3,200 square foot community space (which proved to have ample room for this event) is located in Land Park and hosts — besides the truly random Unilocal party — art exhibitions, multimedia workshops, apprentice/​mentorship programs, and community forums.
And to give a special plug to them, in addition their space is available for local organizations that provide service and advocacy within the fields of social justice and youth development.
THE LOWDOWN
Their art, their space, and their staff are a wonderful time!

Sol Collective is a super funky spot tucked away in Curtis Park. They immediately stole my heart when they moved into the area and threw an ice cream social to bring the neighborhood together. Hells yeah! I’m a fan of being social, I love ice cream – let’s do it!
I’ve been lucky enough to attend a few events here: shows, a book release party, and most recently, Unilocal’s Dia De Los Muertos event. It’s a large space with various areas to roam around and lots of cool art. The best thing about Sol Collective is that they’re all about building community, arts, youth advocacy, and social activism. It’s refreshing to see a group of people take action in the community in an effort to make a difference. Most people these days are uninformed, apathetic, or too self-​involved to give a damn. Needless to say, I fully support their efforts!

I love coming to events here and love the art youth scene spin. I have been to a fundraiser and a special event here and it is a very exciting venue. Sol Collective is also pure eye candy, check out pictures of the venue, colorful and creative. Their calendar of events is delightful; who else has workshops like; Curanderismo, Self-​Care, and Personal Healing, Activist School and a presentation by Chicano Poet Francisco X. Alarcon. It gets pretty steamy at Sol, so I suggest under dressing if attending and hot blooded like myself and if your always cold, you won’t be here. I look forward to many more trips to Sol Collective over the years; art, music, food, and revolution!

People are so sunny inside at the SOL collective!

Where the music and art are always dope! Sol Collective has offered workshops/​classes in yoga, permaculture, alternative medicines, music, dance… and so much more. They also often hold events that cater to kids (healthy eating, arts, etc) which is a plus. Sol family is always welcoming. Support the local venues! Find Sol Collective on facebook to stay up on their events!

I have to huge give props to Sol Collective. Sacramento should be honored to have your space in town, because I know I am.
Sol Collective not only gathers diverse and local artists, they also volunteer services to children seeking artistic guidance. They are helping young minds follow their passions in the arts. As an artist myself, that speaks volumes to me, and applaud you for your services.
There are a variety of beautiful, really interesting work on display here. I could easily get lost in their space, admiring the collections. To top it all off, there’s an instant energetic vibe here. I felt alive, I felt excited and I felt peaceful here.
This is a place I don’t think I’ll go back but KNOW I’ll go back to.

An absolute cool vibe going on in there. Easy to get to for local public transportation and if anything, you can take a taxi there. (And yes there is a good sized bike rack just outside).
Its a pretty spacious area with ample amount of space to work on your laptop or just chill with a soda and friends. Its pretty urban cultural.

This is easily one of the coolest spots in Sac. Love the DIY, community-​driven, artistic vibe. I went to see Chico Mann a few weeks back and was extremely impressed by the people and the space. Looking forward to going back!

Sol Collective defies an easy description, which I suppose is what makes it so damn cool. During a private tour of the space on a weekday morning, I was immediately struck by the energy that must fill it when an event is going down. There was graffiti on the walls, beautiful paintings, a stage where lectures and classes are given, sculptures, an eating area, a small shop with merchandise and fliers on local happenings, and an office for my good friends at Unseen Heroes, a marketing and branding company. The tour inspired me to grab a schedule of events and look for something interesting to attend in the near future. It’s great to know there is a space like this committed to fostering and supporting anything and everything creative. After all, Sacramento is a very creative city.

If you have a passion for Art, community & the hip hop culture then The Sol collective is the perfect venue!
I first encounter this local Gem in my neck of the hood when I went to «Mics and Moods» & since then it has very quickly become the place for the Live Neo-​Soul, Hip-​Hop & Spoken Word in Sacramento. The absolute BEST entertainment you can find on the last Saturday of the month. The soulfully stylistic creator of the show Khiry Malik has serious roots in the Spoken word world & he brings in the most gifted & talented folks for our ears! They usually feature a live band, Open Mic & a growing list of incredible performers. So much culture & Talent in Sacramento… Who knew?!! I love it!
The collective is a wide open Art-​Studio/​Gallery type of Venue. Perfect for any kind of live /​intimate performance or Catered event. They are also very active with the urban youth & community.
I WILL be back for this event again!!! So if you are into Hip-​Hop, arts & culture this is the monthly event is the joint!

Great place and great mission. Keep up the good work. This is a great center that helps promote culture and offers a place for youth to discover their talents. This is a hidden jewel in Sacramento that we need to continue to support and cultivate our youth.

I went to Sol Collective for the first time to attend the same February Second Saturday show that Janine M. mentioned in her review. What a great place; I immediately felt at home in the open warehouse space plastered in a collage of original art. Most in attendance were friendly, like-​minded young folks on a mission of local art appreciation. And after hearing much enthusiasm about them from friends, I got to see The Pets close the evening’s entertainment– awesome. Sol Collective is an asset to Sacramento urban art culture.
