Cloud Place exteriorCloud Place is at the heart of the Cloud Foundation’s philanthropic model. Cloud Place houses professional studio, media, and performing arts spaces for teens with an emphasis on flexibility and innovation. The 3rd floor performance space seats 100 audience members, and includes an overhead LCD projector, stage lighting, and a sound system as well as a Marley floor, ballet bar, and mirrors for dancers. The 4th floor visual art studio has been used for classes from pinhole photography, to mural design, to silkscreen, to figure drawing, while the media room is equipped with 6 Macintosh computers with a range of digital design and imaging software. Through Cloud Place, the Cloud Foundation works with youth arts and performance organizations to build a strong, interconnected youth arts community, encourage new interactions among diverse art programs, and to cultivate new audiences and advocates.

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.

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.
