+ Call for Panelists - Arts Mid-Hudson

Arts Mid-Hudson assembles peer panels to review applications and recommend funding for our grant programs. We administer funding from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) in Dutchess, Orange, and Ulster Counties, with annual competitive grants awarded to artists, schools, community groups, and arts organizations. Arts Mid-Hudson also administers funding through Dutchess County Partners in the Arts, and Ulster County Cultural Services and Promotion Fund.

Arts Mid-Hudson selects a panel composed of individuals with backgrounds in the arts, education, business, as well as the community at large. The panel is charged with the task of formulating funding recommendations based on each program's priorities and goals, evaluation criteria, adherence to set guidelines, and ethical standards.

You can nominate yourself or someone else. We just ask for a short bio, resume, and references through our nomination form.

Important: Anyone applying to a specific program cannot serve as a panelist for that same program.
