CALIFORNIA ARTS COUNCIL                            GRANT REVIEW PANELIST APPLICATION
California’s people are its most treasured resource. A diverse panel pool ensures the integrity of our grant review process for all applicants, representative of our state’s racial, ethnic, and gender identities; eclectic geography; and wealth of organizations, perspectives, and knowledge.

Eligible applicants will be included in a panelist pool to be approved by the Council in the months prior to the 2022 grant panel season. A small number of panelists from the approved panel pool will be confirmed by staff to serve on specific grant panels based on programmatic needs.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Applications submitted may be considered for either Grant Cycle A or Grant Cycle B review panels in 2022.

Panelists selected to serve during the 2022 grant season will be contacted by CAC staff between March and July.

Panelists must meet the following criteria:

• A California resident
• Ability to independently assess the strengths and weaknesses of up to sixty (60) applications based on a grant program’s published review criteria
• Capacity to take part in three (3) mandatory virtual group meetings

Note: Information submitted in this application will be partially accessible via the CAC website and documents generated for the public meetings of the Arts Council.
