Founded in 2005, Sol Collective is a community-based not-for-profit, centering on providing cultural programming (ranging from workshops in arts and graphic design to gardening and music production) to underprivileged and underrepresented youths. These events—hosted in the organization’s capacious 3,200 project space—focus on“amplify[ing] the voice[s] of underrepresented communities,” by often partnering with professional mentors from around the nation and world, “as a means of [local and global] community building and personal empowerment.”
The LeRoy Neiman Foundation is then proud to take part in Sol Collective’s capacious space and mission. Carving out a permanent hub, the foundation envisions this Neiman Art Studio as vibrant social space and creative center that Sacramento youths can look to for
artistic expression and enrichment, complementing the California organization’s programming.
