SIGNIFICANCE
Due to the pandemic, many creatives have not been able to sell their wares. Thanks to a grant from the city of Sacramento, The Atrium was able to build a mini Amazon in 75 days to serve the local creative community with an e-commerce platform that was a no-code no-hassle pathway to e-commerce for local creatives and an easy way for the community to find and shop local from the safety of their couch. Those who feel comfortable in an open-air market are welcome to experience a COVID-friendly version of Upcycle Pop.
Upcycle Pop helps educate the public on our need to go from a linear economy to a circular one. We live on a finite planet, which is why the Atrium is on a mission to build an adaptive, regenerative, and omni-considerate future for all.
