Irving Arts Center seeks Irving residents to serve as 2024-25 Community Grant Review Panelists. Those wishing to be considered may be nominated by others or apply directly by completing an on-line nomination form. The deadline for submission is September 6, 2024.
Irving residents who have knowledge of the visual and/or performing arts as practicing artists, experience through other participation in the arts, or attend a variety of arts events as a consumer are eligible to apply.
Panelists volunteer their time as a service to Irving Arts Center and the Irving arts community and are appointed for a two-year term. Community members join other peer reviewers selected from the ranks of professional arts and non-profit administrators and artists from across the state. Community panelists are invited to attend events of funded organizations each year prior to the review process in June. (Tickets are provided by Irving Arts Center).
There is a zoom orientation prior to beginning service. Panelists do not make funding decisions. They review the grant applications on-line, rank them as to their relative quality and merit and provide feedback shared with the applicants and Arts Board. The Arts Board uses this guidance in making funding decisions.
Members from the pool of candidates will be appointed by the Irving Arts Board in September. Every effort is made to appoint panelists that reflect the diversity of Irving, with balanced representation of expertise, experience, and knowledge of the arts.
For more information, contact Kass Prince at 214-878-5598 or at koprince@cityofirving.org.
