FY27 Grant Panelist Nomination
Ends on
Grant panelists are vital to the Metro Arts grantmaking process. We are seeking engaged community members to review and score applications for the General Operating Support and Thrive Project programs. Panelists will attend an orientation, complete their reviews independently within an online review system over a two-week period, and attend one full day, in-person review panel. Total estimated time commitment is up to 25 hours. Panelists will receive a $500 stipend.
In addition to having a knowledge of and familiarity with Nashville’s arts and culture community, prospective panelists are likely to have knowledge or experience in one or more of the following areas:
- An artistic discipline being considered for funding (dance, film and media arts, crafts, literary arts, music, performance art, multidisciplinary work, theater and performing arts, visual arts) as a creator, artist, arts educator, administrator, curator, cultural organizer, and/or general supporter;
- Organizational, nonprofit, and/or business management, including but not limited to organizational planning, program administration, marketing, or development and fundraising;
- Creation of grant applications, evaluation of the merits of grant applications, or engagement with similar processes.
