Cloud Place was created in 2000 as a professional-quality venue for teen performances, studio practice, and arts exhibitions, recognizing that many small organizations do not have sufficient resources to secure their own permanent space. Cloud Place acts as a "neutral" space for teens from many neighborhoods to meet and work together, and helps teen arts programs to bring their offerings for young people to the next level. Cloud Place was designed by Peter Rose and architects.

The Cloud Foundation grants space at Cloud Place to non-profit youth arts programs/ organizations (501(c)(3)) in the Boston Area for workshops, classes, rehearsals, and special events.
