Become a Grant Peer Reviewer

Region 2 minigrants are reviewed by a panel of 7-10 reviewers representing a cross section of arts and cultural disciplines, expertise and communities. Each year, we seek to grow our pool of reviewers and seat a representative panel of new and seasoned reviewers, who all bring fresh perspective. Commitment is to read and score each application online and then meet for a half day review session via zoom. Interested in learning more? Please contact arts@nwmiarts.net.

MCACA is accepting applications for its 2021-22 Rising Leaders cohort, a rigorous and highly interactive personal development initiative committed to the advancement of Michigan’s arts leaders and sharing tools to create communities and a state where everyone can experience and express creativity in daily lives. Info here.  Application here.  Deadline July 30. Want to connect with a northern Michigan alumni? arts@nwmiarts.net.
