1900.0610 REVIEW CRITERIA USED BY ADVISORY PANELS.

A.

The detailed program-specific criteria, and the weight given to each, are described in parts 1900.2110 to 1900.2260. Advisory panels shall review applications to make recommendations for grants and other forms of assistance according to the merit and artistic quality as demonstrated by the applicant's artistic work sample or equivalent, such as a site visit of the proposed activity, in order to make recommendations to the board. In the case of service programs and projects, the merit and quality of the service being provided to the arts shall be reviewed.

B.

The advisory panel shall thoroughly review all submitted application materials, and score the applications based upon the degree to which the applicant has satisfied the program-specific review criteria. Partial funding may be awarded if the panel finds that an application includes activities or costs that are not allowed in the program from which funding is requested. The panel shall score based solely on the contents of the application and any required supporting materials, including work samples or equivalent, and shall not consider outside information.

C.

All panel meetings shall be held at the Arts Board office, unless otherwise announced in advance. All panel meetings shall be open to the public. Dates and locations shall be posted on the Arts Board's website. Applicants shall be encouraged to attend but may not make presentations to the panels, staff, or board.
