The Paint House Studio in this period focused on short-term artist residencies as its primary mission, with occasional solo and group exhibitions showcasing resident artists’ work. Curatorial projects gradually repositioned Paint House Studio as a collaborative experimental space. This period saw renewed spatial renovations and the development of cultural creative projects aimed at expanding artistic possibilities for participants while generating operational funding. From 2004 onward, the Paint House Studio logo text was changed from "Gallery & studio" to "Forum & studio."
