What is WAC?

The Wayanad Art Cloud (WAC) is an independent non-profit art space – a gallery, a forum, a research lab, a contact zone, an exchange place – where artists, designers and communities work together and find new ways and possibilities to exchange and to go public.

The Wayanad Art Cloud believes in art as a powerful agent capable to contribute to real life problems and overall human conditions. It stands for an extended notion of art and an open minded attitude including arts, crafts and creative activities – developed from within concrete life contexts. Art is understood as a tool to working realities, to act positively in real situations.

The Wayanad Art Cloud builds essentially upon collaboration, exchange participation and sharing. The cloud is an emblem for the move to work together with different cultural, economic, artistic and other background.
