Help us decide how to invest public funds for the arts! The Minnesota State Arts Board is seeking individuals from across the state to serve on grant application review panels in the next six months. Serving as a grant panelist is an opportunity to help decide which individuals, organizations, and programs will receive funding from the Arts Board.
We are looking for Minnesota residents who value the impact of the arts in their community. Any person who has experience with nonprofits and/or with the arts may serve as a panelist. Backgrounds in teaching, community building, or supporting underserved populations can be especially helpful.
Panelists are offered a stipend of $300, which includes:
- Four weeks of service (dates depend on program and team assignment)
- A live virtual training with a program officer
- Reading and scoring 25 applications online
- A virtual full-day public panel meeting to discuss assigned applications
The time commitment is approximately 30 hours. Exact dates of service depend on team assignment.
The first step is to fill out our Interest Form. If you have questions, please contact Taylor Erickson at taylor.r.erickson@state.mn.us or (800) 866-2787.
