About QUIET
Quiet is an artist-led organization building communities through creativity, care, and empowerment.
What is the value of art and the artist’s role in society, outside of industry, fame, and a financial return?
Our founding mission is to support artists’ paths to sovereignty and wellbeing through mentorship, collaboration, gatherings, and access to resources including financial and spiritual support.Since 2017, we have focused on for-profit and not-for-profit projects that live at the intersection of art, social justice, and artistic empowerment. By asking questions, building relationships, and creating outside of traditional frameworks, we grew into a 200+ member community and produced 500+ projects across most creative disciplines. Quiet was founded by Sol Guy and James M. Walton.

A Quiet PRAYER
At Quiet, we begin every gathering with a prayer.
We are all family on the path of transformation and healing. Not only for our beloved ones, and ourselves, but for all beings and the planet. When any one of us transforms, we all transform. As we offer these creative gifts to ourselves and to each other, we know we are holding sanctuary, and sharing in sacred space where we can release all fear. Just being you and here today is more than enough. That alone will be a source of healing for ourselves, our Quiet family, and ultimately the world. Let us share with a serene mind and listen with grace in our hearts.
We take refuge in knowing that we are Home.
