Description

Administered by Forecast Public Art with support from the Jerome Foundation, this grant supports new temporary or permanent public artwork anywhere in Minnesota. It funds artist-conceived, artist-led ideas rather than responses to predetermined sites, themes, commissions, or client briefs. The program advances artistic development and contributions to community and civic life, particularly through public art that would be difficult to fund otherwise.

Artists and culture bearers across disciplines and media are encouraged to apply. Public art may include installations, performances, gatherings, interventions, murals, sound work, social practice, community meals, festivals, and storytelling. Work can occupy public or private property but must be freely accessible. Traditional arts venues are eligible, although projects reaching beyond traditional arts audiences and venues tend to be more competitive.
