Application reviewers must:
- be an artist, employed or volunteer in the arts, or an active arts enthusiast,
- live in one of the seven metro counties: Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott or Washington,
- be at least 18 years old, and
- be dedicated to advancing equitable grantmaking across the Twin Cities metro region.
Our reviewers are as diverse as our applicants. Therefore, we seek individuals from a range of artistic disciplines, experiences in community, metro geographies, ages, genders, races, abilities, and ethnicities. Those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a person of color (BIPOC), a person with a disability, part of the LGBTQ+ community, and/or live outside of Hennepin and Ramsey counties are highly encouraged to apply.
We actively work with our reviewers to ensure they have a positive, thoughtful experience. This includes making accessibility accommodations, providing language translation, and more.
Reviewers include past and current grant applicants, but those new to MRAC are also welcome to apply. Serving as an application reviewer is a great first step if you are thinking of applying for funding!
