Panels generally meet from one to five days, depending on application load. Each panel is made up of experts with knowledge and experience in the area under review. Each application is reviewed and rated in accordance with the published review criteria.
|
The staff reconciles the panel recommendations with available funds and forwards them to the National Council on the Arts, where they are reviewed in open session.
The Council makes recommendations on which applications to fund and which applications to reject. Fast-Track grants receive an expedited review. Following panel and staff review, recommendations are forwarded to the Chairman who makes the final decision on all grant awards.
|
A letter is sent to applicants not recommended for funding. Applicants recommended may be contacted first for revisions to the project. Fast-Track grant applicants will receive a preliminary letter of notification. Grantees later receive an official grant award notification with information about legal and reporting requirements.

ARTIST COMMUNITIESThe National Endowment for the Arts is committed to providing assistance to artist communities for projects that encourage and nurture the development of individual artists and foster and inspire their creative processes. For the Arts Endowment's purposes, an artist community is defined as an organization, whether focused on a single discipline or multidisciplinary, whose primary mission is to provide artist residencies.

Funding Opportunities in Artist CommunitiesGrants for Arts Projects The National Endowment for the Arts' primary funding opportunities for organizations can be found here. An organization may submit only one application through the following FY 2013 Grants for Arts Projects category (see "Application Limits" for the few exceptions to this rule). For most organizations, this category represents the full range of funding options for the entire year.
Our Town Organizations may apply for creative placemaking projects that contribute to the livability of communities and place the arts at their core. An organization may request a grant amount from $25,000 to $150,000. (Deadline: March 1, 2012) National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards Outstanding community arts and humanities programs that celebrate the creativity of America's young people may apply for these awards. (Receipt deadline: January 31, 2012) The Arts in Media In 2010, the National Endowment for the Arts evolved the category of “Arts on Radio and Television” to “Arts in Media.” This change reflects the variety of media through which artists are now creating and the public are consuming art. This initiative has been an overwhelming success yielding more than twice the number of applications received under the previous category. The proposals that will be recommended for support under Arts in Media ensure that all Americans have the opportunity to experience great art whether on television, radio, the Internet, or on their mobile phones. We are now moving the specifications for Arts in Media under our umbrella of “Art Works” with the deadline of August 9, 2012.
