About The Atelier
Professional Mastery. Creative Play.
The Atelier was founded on a simple but radical belief: the gap between “beginner play” and “professional mastery” should be bridged under one roof.
Located in the heart of Midtown Sacramento, our studio is a hybrid space—part high-end gallery, part experimental classroom, and part industrial workspace. We provide the infrastructure—high ceilings, workspace, and a collaborative community—so that art can happen every day.
Our Mission & Vision
Support Artist and Creative Play at All Ages
Mission:
To highlight the Visual Arts as a viable career path in the Sacramento community by making artist labor accessible and visible.
Vision:
To be a central hub for Sacramento's arts community, offering a multi-faceted approach to artistic engagement. We provide affordable studio space, a no-commission gallery, and art education that is accessible to everyone, regardless of their age, ability, or background.
Our Core Values
Artist-Centric:
We value the artists in our community and are committed to providing them with the resources and support they need to thrive.
Creative Play:
We believe that creativity is play that anyone can do. Regular engagement in creative acts is essential for mental wellness, healing, stress relief, and fun.
Community:
We strive to create a supportive and inclusive community where artists and art lovers can connect, collaborate, and inspire one another.
Creative Connection:
We are committed to making art accessible to everyone, regardless of their age, ability, or background.
The Midtown Studio
Our space is designed for “Creative Osmosis.” By housing artist residencies alongside public classrooms, we create an environment where inspiration is shared. It is a place where you can walk past a professional painter on your way to a watercolor workshop—witnessing the full spectrum of the artistic journey in one light-filled studio.
As a Second Saturday Destination, we open our doors to invite the community into the heart of the creative process, ensuring that artist labor is no longer hidden, but visible and celebrated.
