Apply to be a panelist and find yourself 

in the center of the action at MSAC!

Accepting applications for FY23 Arts in Education Grants & Teaching Artist Roster

MSAC relies on a diverse array of experts from across the state of Maryland to do the important work of evaluating applications. We invite participation through program-specific public calls for panelists. We select panelists with a focus on diversity of experiences, diversity of location, and expertise in varying artistic disciplines. Panelists must be Maryland residents.

Arts in Education Grant Panelists

By reviewing and scoring grant applications, Arts in Education Grant panelists help teaching artists connect to small organizations across Maryland to make an impact on a variety of learning communities. Applications include proposals for project-based work led by a teaching artist with schools, non-profits, and other government entities.


Selected Arts in Education Grant panelists serve an annual term, reviewing applications every month between August - May (10 months out of the year).


What to Expect as a Panelist

  • Application reviews are completed on a panelist’s own time online during the middle of each month, beginning in August 2022.
  • Panelists typically review 10-20 applications per month, which requires approximately 2-4 hours to complete over a week period (total varies from month to month).
  • A total of 5 panelists are needed to serve for one year (August 2022 - May 2023). 
  • A required panelist orientation will take place online in July 2022 (Date TBD).
  • Panelists receive compensation of $50 for the training, along with $200 per monthly review. 
  • Panelists must have access to a computer with internet connection to complete reviews.


What We’re Looking For

  • Independent artists, arts administrators, teachers, arts educators, teaching artists, arts education enthusiasts, and students interested in serving Maryland's arts sector while gaining experience and insight in the grant review process.
