Seeking paid panelists to revise MSAC’s 

Special Request Grant Program!

qtgLt2o image

MSAC will be facilitating the public-led revision of the Special Request grant program, which has funded special arts projects at Maryland organizations for the past four years. This effort is based on a need to clarify the program’s policies, provide equitable access to funds that have been spent discretionarily in the past, and grow the portfolio of MSAC funding opportunities currently available to Maryland’s arts sector. The next step of this process is to identify a panel of editors who will work with MSAC staff to develop the policy recommendations that will define the evolution of the Special Request program. Consider completing an application to serve as an editor in this process.


All selected editors will be expected to:

  • Become familiar with the previous policies and procedures of the Special Request program.
  • Work with MSAC staff to revise Special Request policies and procedures in alignment with public need and the goals of the current MSAC strategic plan.
  • Participate in at least two virtual meetings discussing the above issues and developing procedure and policy recommendations for further consideration by MSAC staff, council, and Department of Commerce leadership.

What we are looking for:

  • Maryland residents with backgrounds in a variety of arts administration and cultural worker roles, or who are interested in learning how changes are considered and implemented within MSAC.
  • Members of teams whose organizations have previously received Special Request funding are particularly encouraged to apply. 

 

How to apply:

  • Click the Apply Now button below to log in or create a free account in SmartSimple. You must be registered as an “Independent Artist” to apply to be an editor. 
  • Under Funding Opportunities, select "Public Call."
  • Select "Program Editor" from the first drop down option.
  • Select “Special Request” as the Grant Program from the second drop down option.
  • Click "Save Draft" at the bottom to populate the application.
  • Complete the application and click “Submit.”

 

Editors will receive a minimum of $300 upon completion of assigned tasks, with the possibility of additional compensation if more than two virtual meetings are needed. Access to internet is required, and a Gmail account is recommended to participate.

Apply Now

Deadline: Thursday, July 28, 2022

For questions, visit MSAC’s Special Request page or contact Senior Program Director Chad Buterbaugh at chad.buterbaugh@maryland.gov or 443.469.8239.
