Skip crowded restaurants and share a cozy, unique creative date in the heart of historic Old Sacramento

When you arrive off the cobble stone at Atrium 916, you’ll walk through the open floor-to-ceiling French doors to check in at the front desk. There you will be welcomed to your reserved table, complete with a flower for your loved one. From there, settle into a romantic table setting and choose from our Valentine’s menu of craft experiences and paired drink options.

Atrium 916 is a creative arts nonprofit rooted in zero waste and sustainability, so this experience is designed to feel elevated, intentional, and low-waste, focused on connection, creativity, and making something meaningful together.

Pick your project and create side-by-side:

One collaborative canvas
Two connected canvases
A painted tote bag
A sculpted clay magnet

Sip complimentary champagne, mimosas, sparkling apple cider, hot cider, or tea while you create, either in our cozy gallery space or outside under twinkling patio lights. Our in-house artists will be at hand with bottomless paint, art supplies, guidance, and tips to help you feel confident (no experience needed).

Want to remember the moment? Optional photo add-ons are available, choose an instant snapshot to take home the same day, or upgrade to a professional couples mini shoot in Old Sacramento during your session. You are already looking good – memorialize it and the moment.

Reservations are limited and fill quickly. Perfect for anyone who prefers experience over commercialism, and a little magic over the usual.
