LAUNCH is a product of Sacramento’s burgeoning creative community and curated by some of the brightest artists in and around Sacramento to showcase their peers and introduce the audience to a new generation of local, regional and international talent across multiple artistic fronts.
Our vision is to create a citywide event that provides a platform to elevate and inspire our region’s creative talent. Join us for a six-day celebration that Sacramento will never forget!
