Grant Reviewers Wanted

We’re looking for grant reviewers that represent the broad spectrum of arts and creative voices in the region.

Upcoming Review Panel Dates:
May 5 - Arts Learning Grant Review Panel
May 9 - Rural & Community Art Project Grant Review Panel
May 11 - Art Project Grant Review Panel

ARAC provides grants for the development of artists, arts organizations, and arts services throughout the region. With your help, we can ensure that our grant review process is representative of our region’s racial, ethnic, gender, and disability identities; extensive geography; and distinct perspectives.

ARAC chooses grant reviewers based on their arts practice, knowledge, experience, and commitment to fairness. We are looking for individuals with knowledge of the arts, arts supporters/collectors, or individuals working in and with knowledge of the regional arts community.

ARAC Reviewers must:

  • Live in the Arrowhead region (Aitkin, Carlton, Cook, Itasca, Koochiching, Lake, and St. Louis Counties)

  • Have access to the internet, a computer, and have the ability to interact within the web environment

  • Be willing and able to provide written and oral comments based on their knowledge, not their personal bias

  • Listen attentively to the other reviewers and engage in discussion

  • Maintain confidentiality and acknowledge conflicts of interest

Time Commitment and Compensation:

  • Time commitments vary, depending on the grant program. Expect to spend 5-10 hours preparing for the panel meeting, which usually lasts 2-3 hours

  • Reviewers have access to the grants at least two weeks in advance of the meeting to prepare

  • Reviewers will receive a $100 stipend per panel session. All reviews are done via the internet; no need to travel to Duluth

How to Apply:
Contact ARAC’s Director of Grants and Outreach, Holly Hackett-Rich to discuss your experience and availability at grants@aracouncil.org
