About Spectrum Stage

Empire Arts Collective, operating as Spectrum Stage, is a Sacramento-based nonprofit arts organization and public venue dedicated to inclusive, artist-driven, community-centered performing arts. We carve out and protect space for artists and stories often overlooked by traditional institutions, operating as an ongoing creative home rather than a one-off themed event or seasonal spotlight. We’re building a place where performance feels immediate, human, and connected to the people in the room.

We prioritize stories from LGBTQ+, BIPOC, disabled artists, women, and others who rarely see their experiences centered on traditional stages. The work presented reflects a wide range of lived experiences and creative approaches so the work resembles the community around it.

Creative joy is a form of community resilience. Our programs offer visibility, belonging, and shared meaning at a time when many marginalized community members are experiencing isolation, forced silence, exclusion, fear, and ongoing social stress.

Empire Arts Collective, doing business as Spectrum Stage, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by contributions from individuals, businesses, foundations, and public agencies. Ticket purchases are not tax-deductible. Any amount you give above the fair market value of the tickets may be tax-deductible as allowed by law. EIN: 81-2974146
