Become an Office of Arts and Culture Panelist

The Artists to Work Program supports creating and presenting original, new, or in-process artistic work by practicing Phoenix artists. To distribute this funding in a fair and equitable manner, the city relies on panels of artists and creatives to review applications, provide feedback, and recommend decisions.

​The Arts and Culture Department seeks knowledgeable, fair-minded, and ​​​​​responsible individuals to serve as grant review panel members.  Panelists are critical to the integrity of the grants process and include laypersons, artists, arts professionals, and educators, each representing different points of view and various cultural orientations.

The Arts and Culture Department is looking for people with expertise in the arts, architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design who would like to be considered to serve on an artist selection panel. Selection panels are essential to the process of hiring artists for public art projects. Project sites range from airports, parks, streetscapes and pedestrian bridges to libraries, community water facilities and more.
