OPEN CALL FOR GRANT PANELISTS

Center for Cultural Innovation (CCI) offers recurring and one-time grant opportunities for individual artists and arts workers across the nation, with open application cycles occurring throughout the year that center a range of disciplines and focus areas. For this reason, we’re actively seeking individuals interested in joining peer grant review panels and engaging in shared decision-making processes.

Learn more about CCI's grant opportunities here.

Prospective panelists should be interested in the grantmaking process and in supporting individuals in the arts. They should also have a deep understanding of a particular discipline or area of experience. We also encourage folks who are coming up in the field to consider serving on a grant panel as a professional development experience. All panelists will receive an honorarium for their valuable time and expertise. 

Panelists will be selected based on the needs of the particular grant panel and contacted by CCI staff to discuss panel participation and commitment (including, but not limited to, online training, independent review and scoring, and grant panel discussion). We will keep the information you submit below on file for two years (2025 to 2026). We will only contact you if you are being considered for an upcoming panel.

Thank you for your commitment to supporting individuals in the arts!

Note: Your responses are CONFIDENTIAL and will be used for internal purposes only.

Introduce Yourself to CCI

CCI wishes to acknowledge the California Arts Council and San Francisco Arts Commission for their panelist recruitment materials, which we used as models when creating our own ephemera.
