Our Story

We are a Bay Area-rooted creative collective built on artists supporting artists, grounded in cultura y comunidad.

Our shared space brings together a café, tattoo studio, barbershop, and community art programming. Around coffee, food, art, and conversation, we gather to share ideas, celebrate culture, and build connection.

Located in the coastal town of Pacifica along Highway 1, our café lives inside a historic red caboose that once traveled between San Francisco and Pacifica’s Vallemar Station. In many ways, our collective carries that same spirit: connecting the Bay Area’s creative roots with the community we’re building here today.

Founded by Latinx artists and community members, we exist to uplift local creatives and offer a welcoming space where people can come together to create, collaborate, eat, drink, and feel at home. We believe creativity lives in everyday moments and that everyone has something meaningful to contribute.

Pacifica 1 Arts Collective es un espacio dedicado a celebrar el arte, la cultura y la comunidad. Apoyamos el talento local y creemos en crear oportunidades para que artistas y vecinos puedan conectar, colaborar y crecer juntos.
