The Wyoming Arts Council will conduct the panel review meeting for Community Support Grant (CSG) applications virtually on Monday, May 5. Grant applicants and members of the public are invited to call in and listen to the panel’s evaluation and discussion of the submitted proposals.

The Community Support Grant offers operating and/or project support and arts learning support for organizations that provide services to their community through the arts. Previous support has helped with events like the Wyoming Sheep & Wool Festival, Donkey Creek Festival and Nowoodstock, as well as artists residencies in Pinedale and Big Piney schools organized by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council.

Review of applications requesting operating and project support as well as arts learning funding, will begin at 9:30 a.m. Applicants and the public can listen by calling in at ‪(US) +1 386-603-2455‬ PIN: ‪403 837 555‬#

All callers will be muted for the duration of the online panel meetings and will not be able to comment. The panel will discuss common strengths and weaknesses across applications, organized by section—such as community engagement, evaluation, and operational or project support. Listeners are encouraged to review the applications in advance and follow along with the panelists’ comments. Please note that, unlike in previous years, individual applications will not be reviewed in alphabetical order. For access to application materials and review criteria, please contact the Wyoming Arts Council or visit the Council’s website.

“Listening to the panel discussion on this year’s grant applications is a great way to learn about what makes a strong application and can also give organizations insight on new ways to think about arts programming that is currently being offered,” said Cashmere Balland, Grants and Administration Manager for the Wyoming Arts Council.

The Arts Council board will review grant panel recommendations during their quarterly board meeting in Saratoga on May 8 and 9.  As the date gets closer, please visit www.wyomingartscouncil.org for information about the Wyoming Arts Council board meeting, including call-in information and available times for public comment. The board meeting is the only time when applicants will be able to comment.
