The Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) is seeking nominations for its upcoming review panels for the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Fund for Organizations.

Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, WESTAF’s ARP is a competitive grant program that provides general operating support to arts and cultural organizations most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the West.

Panels will take place in August 2021, with multiple panels expected. Panelists will receive a stipend of $750 each, and WESTAF anticipates a total of at least 25 panelists. Panelists will review applications from organizations across the 13-state WESTAF region. Applications will be assessed on their deep commitment to cultural equity, social justice, and disrupting systemic racism. At least one grant per state (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawai’i, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming) will be awarded.

Due by July 16, 2021.
