Artist Support Info Session for Forecast's public artist grants (2022 grant year)

This information session about Forecast's grants for public artists was led by Aki Shibata on September 1, 2021. Forecast provides grants to Minnesota-based early- and mid-career public artists. We fund public art projects and research & development. The session covers detailed information about Forecast’s grants, how we define public art, and tips for writing your grant. Apply by October 18, 2021 for our 2022 grants.

We seek to fund a diverse group of artists working in all career stages and ranges of public art practices and media and place particular emphasis on supporting and amplifying the artistic work of BIPOC and Native artists, LGBTQIA+ artists, womxn artists, immigrant artists, artists from rural communities, and artists with disabilities.

It is our value that our applicants, panelists, and grantees reflect the racial, cultural, gender, artistic, physical ability, and geographic diversity of Minnesota and the 11 Native nations that share the same geography, and the stories and perspectives of the artists and communities we serve.
