The California Arts Council Announces an Open Call for Grant Review Panelists

California’s people are its most treasured resource. A diverse panel pool ensures the integrity of our grant review process for all applicants, representative of our state’s racial, ethnic, and gender identities; eclectic geography; and wealth of organizations, perspectives, and knowledge.

Gain insight into grantmaking and lend your voice to the process by joining a grant application review panel. We’re looking for artists, cultural practitioners and arts field professionals of all disciplines with experience in:

• arts learning for youth
• creative placemaking/ placekeeping
• cultural development
• juvenile and social justice
• nonprofit management
• arts programming for veteran populations and people with disabilities
• other relevant lines of work

How it works

Panelists independently review assigned applications online before meeting virtually to collaboratively rank applications. Rankings are then brought before the California Arts Council body to inform funding decisions.
 

Support
Panelists receive a $100 honorarium for each day of the virtual panel meeting. Panel meetings run approximately 1-3 days.
 

Apply by January 7th!
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The final submission collection for this year’s panels will take place on January 7, 2021. Panelists selected to serve during the spring 2021 grant panel season will be contacted by CAC staff between December and April.
