NEW MISSION + VISION

In early 2020, Forecast completed a strategic plan detailing new organizational goals and how they will be accomplished. The plan includes updates to our mission, vision, activities and programs to expand our national impact. Our focus on belonging, justice, health and human dignity sets a clear path for the kind of work we will be engaging in and initiating over the next five years.

MISSION

Forecast activates, inspires, and advocates for public art that advances justice, health, and human dignity.

VISION

Forecast envisions a future where all people feel a sense of belonging, realize their potential and live healthy lives by embracing culture and creativity as drivers of equitable change.
