About Jack:
Under Jack’s leadership—as executive director from 1978 to 2016, and as lead consultant thereafter— Forecast became internationally known and respected as the go-to resource for all things public art. He founded the longest running grant program for public artists, launched Public Art Review, and partnered with hundreds of allied professionals—community developers, city planners, place-based designers, educators and many others—to realize the potential of public art within their communities.
