HOW CAN I BE A GRANT SELECTION PANELIST?
Artist Trust awards are distributed each year through a competitive selection process, with recipient selections being made by peer panels of artists and arts professionals. These panels are comprised of individuals, working in all creative disciplines, from around Washington State. We continually seek nominations of artists and arts professionals to serve on our Selection Panels.

Serving as a Selection Panelist demands a substantial time commitment. Selection Panelists must review applications and all manuscript submissions one month prior to the panel meetings. At the panel meeting, the panelists then, as a group, discuss the applications and review the supporting materials, which include slides and tape submissions, artist résumés and work sample descriptions.

Artist Trust provides a modest honorarium and covers transportation and lodging for panelists living outside the Puget Sound area.
We are seeking:

• Artists/Arts Professionals creating high quality works in all disciplines, including: Performing, Media, Literary, Visual and Interdisciplinary art forms.
  
  
• Artists/Arts Professionals residing throughout Washington State - in Central, Eastern and Western Washington including urban and rural locals.
  
  
• Artists/Arts Professionals of all races, genders and creeds who create work either using traditional artmaking methods of their culture of origin, or who create works outside of that tradition.
  
  
• Artists/Arts Professionals interested in evaluating art representing all ideologies including, but not limited to, conceptual, realist, abstract and traditional.
  

Artist Trust works hard to convene panels representing geographic, stylistic, cultural and gender diversity. Please keep in mind that many of the artists nominated may not be solicited due to the specific needs of each panel. We will, however, keep your nomination form on file for future consideration.

To nominate yourself or someone else to serve as an Artist Trust Selection Panelist, please submit:

• Letter of Interest addressing how you or the person you are nominating fulfills the qualifications listed above.
  
  
• Artist Résumé
