The Arts Incubator concept has already been embraced by many communities with great success. Each community has its own approach to using arts incubation as a strategy for nurturing creativity and fostering economic development. St. Cloud Arts will create and support a community of working artists, a key component in fostering a healthy and vibrant arts culture. There is a growing need in St. Cloud for both affordable studio space and business support services tailored for artists. The St. Cloud Arts will support the success of artists by providing affordable studio space, business assistance, and gallery space. St. Cloud Arts will create unique opportunities for the public to learn directly from working artists through programs and events. Visitors will be able to watch artists at work, view a gallery show or enroll in an art class. Special events such as featured artists and art walks are additional ways to interact and learn from the vibrant artist community. St. Cloud Arts will be a welcoming public space for all St. Cloud and Osceola County residents seeking a unique cultural and recreational experience.
