Panel Handbook
Georgia Council for the Arts uses peer review panelists for the evaluation of grant applications. GCA appreciates the time, effort and commitment of the panelists in ensuring a fair process and assessment.
Panelists are chosen from throughout the state and represent a broad range of experiences and expertise. Considerations in making panel appointments include:
- Professional qualifications and experience in (or knowledge of) a particular arts discipline
- Multicultural or ethnic representation
- Knowledge of Georgia’s arts community
- Geographic distribution
- Communication and decision-making skills
- Teamwork perspective and ability to function cooperatively in a group setting
- Representation of various positions within the arts community (for example: artists, administrators, board member, educators and arts patrons)
Panelists are appointed to a one-year term, which may be extended annually for a maximum tenure of three years. GCA is always seeking qualified individuals to serve as panelists. The handbook provides an overview of the role of the panelist and the procedures and standards of the process. Questions about any information contained in this handbook, or nominations of qualified persons to serve, should be directed to a Program Manager.
