The Painted Cloud is an art studio that practices community-minded experimentation in the arts. Through experimental processes, we develop foundations that change our perspectives, help us become more open-minded, and help us gain autonomy. Experimenting in a group setting broadens our perspectives of what is possible within ourselves, our peers, and our communities. Gaining confidence in trying new things allows us to have more open minds toward our own intuition and creativity, that of our peers, and that of our communities. Understanding our power and ability to contribute to our own well-being and the well-being of our communities gives us autonomy without losing sight of our responsibility to our studio mates and those we collaborate with regularly. Community-minded experimentation is responsible, ethical artistic development and adventure.
