Arts Midwest welcomes individuals from across the United States who are interested in joining our panels for Shakespeare in American Communities, GIG Fund, and NEA Big Read.
What do panelists do?
Panelists for Arts Midwest programs play a central role in reviewing applications for funding and informing Arts Midwest on its grantmaking processes. We rely on individuals representing a broad range of artistic and cultural viewpoints to evaluate the artistic excellence and artistic merit of proposals.
Most panelists are arts professionals who are qualified by their activities, training, skills, and/or experience in one or more art forms. Every panel also includes a layperson – someone knowledgeable about the arts but not engaged in the arts as a professional either full- or part-time.
