Adjustable ceiling panel, method of manufacture, and ceiling panel system

A ceiling system comprising:

• a ceiling grid formed by a plurality of frame elements including a first frame element, the first frame element being a beam comprising a vertical web having a bottom end, and at least one horizontal flange extending from the bottom end of the vertical web;
• a first ceiling panel and a second ceiling panel each affixed to the first frame element, each comprising:
• a panel body including an upper surface, a lower surface, a first end, a second end, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side;
• and
• a bracket extending upward from the upper surface of the panel body and offset from a center of gravity of the panel body toward the first end, the bracket including an upper fastener comprising a first support flange resting on one of the at least one horizontal flanges of the first frame element;
• and a first upper web plate extending upward from the first support flange and disposed against and attached to a side of the vertical web of the first frame element,
• and wherein in each of the first ceiling panel and second ceiling panel,
• an angle of the panel body is adjustable with respect to the attachment of the upper fastener of the bracket, and
• a perimeter of the panel body along the first lateral side, second end, and second lateral side is free and unattached,
• wherein the bracket further comprises a lower fastener that attaches to the upper fastener and to the panel body, the lower fastener including a fin that extends upward from the upper surface of the panel body.
