FY27 Grant Panelist Application
Ends on
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.
We strive to form diverse selection panels of individuals who are thoughtful, are willing to listen to others' opinions, have experiences relevant to the funding programs, and have a demonstrated interest in the arts (as a working artist, cultural worker, audience member or participant, advocate, community leader, educator, etc.). Panelists will be selected to represent a variety of experiences, backgrounds, perspectives, artistic genres and involvement with the arts. All panelists should have a commitment to supporting and promoting the arts in Davidson County. First-time and returning panelists are welcome to apply.
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.
This is a paid opportunity to be part of Metro Arts’ grantmaking process. Not all who apply will be selected to serve as a panelist.
