OPEN CALL: JURY PROCESS, TIMELINE, RESPONSIBILITIES

Our panels the 2025 Open Call have been assembled -- but you can submit your interest at any time for consideration on panels for future programs!

*****

The annual on-ice program is primarily curated through an open call process. To review, score, discuss and select submissions, we assemble two panels made up of Art Shanty representatives (Artistic Director + 1 board member), local artists and arts professionals. There are two juries: one for shanties (physical structures that remain up all month and are activated by artists) and one for performances + art actions (rotating activities that pop up throughout the village at different times).

Panelists review approximately 20-30 proposals on their own, score them against a rubric that we provide, and then convene together for an afternoon to discuss and select projects.

Annual timeline:

  • June: jurors are selected
  • July: artist proposals are due
  • August: jurors meet to discuss and select proposals

Commitment: advance review of proposals + one 4-hour in-person session to discuss together

This is a volunteer position. We provide a $100 honorarium for your service.

YIKES! A DEMOGRAPHICS SECTION!
We are collecting demographics of everyone involved in our program, including jurors. These questions are optional, but answering them does help Art Shanty Projects with grant proposals and internal evaluations. If this data is used for anything outside of the organization, results will only be shared as the compilation of a whole (not individually). We recognize this is generally a gross thing, but it helps us stay funded in a gross system.
