Overview:
Alchemist CDC is a mission-driven, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting communities in the Sacramento area to land, food, and economic opportunity. Our vision is a future in which all neighborhoods are vibrant, equitable, healthy, and diverse. We are widely recognized for enhancing quality of life in under-resourced communities through increased access to nutritious food, the creation of community-supported green spaces, and the promotion of economic self-sufficiency via entrepreneurship and small business development.

Summary:
The River District in Sacramento boasts a rich history shaped by its strategic position at the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers. Our latest initiative, Alchemist Public Market is designed to serve as a central gathering space for the community including a full-service cafe, corner store, and food courtyard as well as special events like farmers markets, outdoor movie nights, and more! Alchemist Public Market will be a place where residents can connect, engage, and build lasting relationships with their neighbors. Originally an isolated area, the River District emerged as a vital distribution hub for agricultural products, leveraging both river and rail transportation to support regional commerce. Over time, the district evolved into an industrial center. Today, it is undergoing a significant transformation through revitalization efforts aimed at rebranding the area into a dynamic, mixed-use urban community.

Alchemist Public Market offers four opportunities for site-specific public art installations by local Sacramento artists. Each piece is intended to reflect and honor the historical significance of the area while aligning with the mission and vision of the space.
