We’re so excited to share that Empire Arts Collective has officially moved into a new home at 2424 Castro Way in Sacramento! We now have the perfect space just waiting to be transformed into our very own black box theater, as well as a beautiful lobby with a private restroom to make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. We will have all the room we need to create boldly, support more artists, and finally build the kind of performing arts home our community has been dreaming about.

But before we can open the doors, we need to finish a few essential upgrades that make the space fully usable and performance-ready.

We’re raising funds to cover our launch costs, upgrades to the space, and build momentum for what’s next. Your support will help us install blackout curtains for rehearsals and performances, lay durable black floor tiles, refresh the interior paint, and purchase practical supplies that bring the space to life.

Once the space is fully upgraded and ready, we’re jumping straight into 2026 with fresh programming and a bold creative vision. That includes a full season of EAC Out Loud, our bold new flagship theatre program amplifying queer voices and stories onstage and off, plus an exciting array of arts-centered meetups, community events, and classes that we will be announcing soon!

The real plan for 2026? Get Loud. Make Art. Take Up Space. If that sounds like a future worth building, donate now to be part of it! Also, don’t forget to spread the word about this funding campaign to your friends, family, and fellow theatre lovers!
