Back in July, Broad Room announced the Cosmic Library, a new program that will offer free + low-cost supplies to the public from our Del Paso Blvd warehouse. We worked with the artists who have requested funding from the Sacramento Covid-19 Artist Relief Fund to figure out what other types of programming would be the most helpful during this time, which is where this idea to offer free art supplies came from!
Thanks to funding from the City of Sacramento Office of Arts and Culture, we will be able to offer free art supplies and menstrual products to Sacramento-based artists who have been impacted by Covid-19. These free supplies will be available in addition to the low-cost donated goods like crafting supplies, clothing, books, and more.
Here’s how you can help + plan your visit to the Cosmic Library:
Tell us what types of free supplies you’d like to see in the Cosmic Library here.
Set up an appointment to drop off donations here. We have three dates available for drop offs in the next two weeks.
Schedule an appointment to shop the Cosmic Library here.
Over the next couple weeks, we will be preparing the space inside our warehouse where the Cosmic Library will live. Cosmic stands for Creative Offerings, Supplies, Mutual aid, Ingredients, and Collaboration.
The Cosmic Library will be a physical space inside the front corner of our Del Paso Boulevard warehouse that will be home to free art supplies, feminine hygiene products, a curated selection of clothing, plants, books, magazines, and more donated by and available to our community.
The space will have limited hours on weekends, masks will be required to enter, and will be appointment based.
Have goods you want to donate to the Cosmic Library? Books, clothing, art/craft supplies, plants?? We are happy to take them off your hands and give them a new home. We have three days available in the next two weeks when we will be accepting donations.
Donations will be accepted by appointment only during these dates + times. Please schedule an appointment here. We will set up regular donation days after the Cosmic Library opens, but appointments will always be required.
Upcoming donation days:
10/10 2:00pm-6:00pm
10/16 1:00pm-6:30pm
10/17 1:00pm-6:30pm

We can’t wait to see you at the Cosmic Library!
