Forecast Public Art

Jack Becker is co-founder and executive director of Forecast Public Art, an organization that specializes in projects that connect the ideas and energies of artists with the needs and opportunities of communities. Their "gallery" has always been the city as a whole: parks, libraries, billboards, squares, and every other public space conceivable. Forecast has organized dozens of exhibitions and events, produced numerous publications including the nationally published Public Art Review - and has established an annual grant program for emerging Minnesota artists. Though often behind the scenes, Forecast plays a crucial role in creating the rich and vibrant cultural life that the Twin Cities is so well known for. Celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, Forecast continues to "Make Public Art Happen."
