Become a Grant Panelist

We’re always on the look out for members of our community to serve on application review panels that assist in determining the outcomes for our arts grant funding programs.

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We’re looking for people who have a keen interest across artistic disciplines. Disciplines range from visual art, performing arts to fashion and literary arts, etc. As someone who is interested in the arts, this could mean that you are an artist yourself (all levels) or someone who appreciates art.
We’re looking for people who can evaluate an application to determine it meets all requirements outlined in the provided guidelines.
We’re looking for people who can see the benefit of a project or organization and what it provides to the individual artist and/or broader community.
If you’re an artist, we encourage you to participate as a panel member, as this is a good way to see how other applicants interpret the requirements of an application and exactly how the panel discussions are determined.
