This committee recommends actual dollar awards based on the Grant Review Panel's rankings. A Public Hearing is held by the Phoenix Arts Commissioners. Applicants and the general public can come and give their input on the review process up to this point. The Grant Contact is notified when this public meeting is scheduled. The Phoenix Arts Commissioners will meet to review applications, review public input and make funding recommendations.
All meetings listed above are open to the public.
You are encouraged to attend as observers to hear the review of your grant application. The above schedule does not apply to Minigrants. The Phoenix Arts Commission seeks knowledgable, fair-minded and responsible individuals to serve as grant review panel members. Panelists are critical to the integrity of the grants process, and include laypersons as well as artists, arts professionals and educators, each representing different points of view and various cultural orientations. Panelists must be able to put aside personal biases and be fair in their assessments and decisions.
