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.
