Hi, new friends! I’m Christine, General Manager of Gold House’s Creative Equity Fund. Gold House unites and invests in Asian and Pacific Islander diasporic talent, stories, and companies. While we might be best known for our work with leading Hollywood studios, our A100 list, annual Gold Gala (the single most visible Asian Pacific event in the world), or our venture capital fund Gold House Ventures, I specifically oversee our next-generation talent development programs and independent film production.

Forecast is based in Minnesota, where our hearts are heavy and our resistance and resolve are strong. This year, we celebrate nearly 30 years of grantmaking to individual public artists and culture bearers in Minnesota, while also providing funding and capacity building to artists across the Midwest and nationally, and serving as a trusted civic strategy partner to communities and public-sector partners. We’ve been a proud GIA member since 2019.
