Stuart Hyatt is a musician and multimedia artist from Indianapolis. He is a member of the Colorado-based artist collective M12. Hyatt is most well known for two albums, 2005's The Clouds[1] and 2007's Shrimp Attack,[2] for which he composed the music and organized the recording of the songs, which were sung by, respectively, local gospel choirs and amateur singers in Sumter County, Alabama, and a 50-member collective of artists with developmental disabilities at Creative Clay, a nonprofit arts center in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Clouds received a Grammy nomination for Best Recording Package in 2005 for Hyatt's handmade corrugated cardboard CD package.[3] The albums were originally released on Hyatt's own label, Team Records, and later re-released by Minneapolis label Innova Recordings. Hyatt's other releases on Team Records have followed a similar community-based approach typified by collectives of nonprofessional musicians organized by Hyatt.

In 2005, Hyatt received a prestigious Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellowship, awarded yearly to artists in the Midwest to reward creativity and encourage emerging and established artists.[4]
