Very professional, thorough and persona! Thanks so much Jessica and Forecast for assisting me and so many artists and communities.

Alchemy rec'd helpful information from Jessica regarding applying for Forecast's grants, but also those available in the Twin Cities in general. I appreciated her helpful words and phrases in wrapping my head around grant lingo!

The grant application feedback session was very insightful, and the information and feedback I received helped me clarify my ideas into a grant proposal I was proud to submit.

As always, Forecast Public Art provided fine professional support. Having the opportunity to discuss the various grants available and which one would best fit the project was very helpful. Because the art I create is somewhat unusual it was important that Jessica was familiar with the project and could offer advice focused specifically on the step this grant will allow me to take, emphasizing that the proposal must be concerned with that step and not the project in its entirety. Forecast provides an inviting atmosphere where I always feel I'm there to talk with a friend who will help as much as they can. The staff listens and never resorts to "Artspeak" to impress. They are there to communicate effectively, which I am guessing must be a key aspect of Forecast's mission. Thank You

My experience with Forecast has been superlative. As a grant recipient I've found the staff to be extremely professional, insightful and supportive of my work. I've been encouraged to develop ideas and presentations that are true to my direction. With Forecast's help I've been able to effectively communicate to a larger audience.
