Triangle Works (TW) is a group of local residents bringing community, “Placemaking” and creative pursuits to El Sobrante. Our evolving mission is to create, enhance and vitalize the Sobrante Triangle area (the Triangle created by Appian Way, Valley View and Sobrante Ave). We are working to develop and engage an innovative, diverse and forward-thinking community, foster local talents, foster education and expression in creative work, and steer development and investment towards community-centric and community relevant businesses and services.
We would like to highlight some of Triangle Works projects:
The Shed
Classes have started at The Shed.
The Shed is a Maker’s Market and Workshop. This former shed of Adachi Nursery & Florist is being transformed into a creative community space that will offer classes for up to 12 people. Classes have started! Classes are currently being planned for this summer and fall. The Shed is designed to foster education and expression in creative work. Come learn wood working, sewing, painting and even mushroom propagation and many other creative topics. Classes will focus on personal and community development and will be offered for both children and adults. Classes are project-based, so come learn how to create something new and take it home with you. As we build this community, we're looking for both students and teachers.
The Shed is open every Sunday during Planting Justice's Farmers Market. Pop in, say hello, ask about upcoming classes and see samples of creative works from the classes and workshops.
Retail opportunities in The Shed will be coming soon.

Kid’s Art table
Bringing creative interests to all. Invite your kids to partake in a supervised Kids’ Art Table open Sunday’s during the hours of Planting Justice's Farmers Market.
Mural and Art Committee
Last year’s mural, which covers half a block at Appian and Fran, was a great success.
We are developing our second community mural; we have an artist and a tentative site!
Triangle Works “Foundation”
We are slowly but surely growing our roots in the community and building our vision, structure and work plans as our core membership expands. We are looking for people interested in seriously committing to helping TW grow into a force, alongside Good Table, Planting Justice, including their Farmers Market, to make our Triangle not a “Sobrante” (“leftover”) but a Place we want to be. We’re expanding community participation in all TW planning and activities. Triangle works is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, A Community Center for El Sobrante (ACCES).
