How are evaluators and panelists chosen?
Recommendations for potential evaluators and panelists come from many sources including past panelists, colleagues at arts and cultural organizations around the region and nation, and suggestions from practicing artists. All potential evaluators and panelists must be practicing, knowledgable artists or arts professionals including curators, presenters, editors, etc. from outside of the Philadelphia area.
