Sacramento Stockton Modesto, CA, September 21, 2026 — In Sacramento’s Capitol Park, local artists are deploying an unconventional installation: an empty film set. The project, spearheaded by Sacramento Poet Laureate Andru Defeye and the arts organization Sol Collective, aims to visually represent a significant trend impacting the state’s creative economy.

The installation serves as a stark symbol of the perceived decrease in entertainment jobs within California. By placing an unadorned film set in a public space, artists intend to draw attention to the challenges faced by professionals in the entertainment industry.

The artists involved are calling on the state’s attorney general to take action. Their objective is to urge the attorney general’s office to implement measures aimed at protecting the livelihoods of those working in California’s entertainment sector. Specific details regarding the attorney general’s current involvement or the exact nature of the requested protections were not provided in the summary of the trend.

The installation’s presence in Capitol Park is intended to serve as a public statement and a catalyst for dialogue about the future of entertainment work in California. The participation of recognized figures like Poet Laureate Andru Defeye and established groups such as Sol Collective underscores the collaborative effort behind the initiative.

Further information regarding the timeline of the installation or specific demands made to the attorney general’s office was not immediately available. The artists hope the visual impact of the empty film set will encourage greater awareness and support for the state’s entertainment workforce.
