Serve as a Panelist

Individual Artist Panels, appointed by the Indiana Arts Commission, are composed of Indiana residents knowledgeable in the arts or arts management. The IAC strives to balance panel composition with consideration to race, gender, regional representation, special needs, and arts discipline. Organization Grant Panelists are selected with consideration of in-state and out-of-state perspectives, range of expertise in arts disciplines and administration, and a range reflective of the population.
