Can I nominate myself? Yes, self-nominations are accepted. Who serves on these panels? Panels are comprised of artists, arts-related professionals, educators, community members, business leaders and others with current or prior active involvement in the arts. Many panelists are arts professionals who are qualified by their activities, training, skills, and/or experience in one or more art forms; however, we equally welcome arts enthusiasts, advocates, and supporters to submit a panelist nomination. Panels are chaired by a member of the Cultural Affairs Council. My organization applies for grants funding from the Department. Can I serve as a panelist? Individuals may not serve on grants panels that review applications from the individual’s affiliate organization. However, individuals that submit a nomination, may be considered for other grants panels that do not review applications from organizations affiliated with that individual. Each year the Department of Cultural Affairs relies on the services of many outstanding volunteer panelists, who review and evaluate grant applications, share their knowledge and expertise, and make funding recommendations. We are grateful for their exceptional service! Become a volunteer panelist: Click here for more information and to fill out the Grant Panelist Nomination Form online.
