Panel Review Process

Cuyahoga Arts & Culture convenes an independent panel of arts and cultural experts from outside Northeast Ohio to evaluate and score applications to the Project Support program.

The Panel Review for 2014 Project Support applications will take place on October 14-17, 2013, at the Idea Center at PlayhouseSquare. We encourage all applicants to attend the Panel Review Meetings to hear the full discussion of your application and other applications within the same program.

On October 22-25, 2013, Cuyahoga Arts & Culture assembled a panel to evaluate and score the 128 applications to the 2013 Project Support I and II programs. View the panel scores resulting from the Panel Review Meetings, or listen to the audio archives:
