Panelist Nominations

Arts Grants for Queens & GO Queens Grant applications are reviewed and scored by a peer panel comprised of artists, cultural workers, arts administrators, community organizers and Queens community leaders. FTH is committed to having a panel that reflects the cultural and creative diversity of Queens and of our prospective applicant pool. The jury of panelists will be familiar with communities and neighborhoods in Queens and/or represent a range of artistic disciplines. Panelists are chosen through a nomination process. Prospective panelists can be self-nominated or nominated by someone else.
