How are panels assembled?
Recommendations for potential 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 panelists must be practicing artists or arts professionals including curators, presenters, editors etc. from outside of the Philadelphia area. When assembling panels we take into consideration age, gender, aesthetic, ethnicity, and geography to put together a well-balanced group. The ultimate panel selection is at the discretion of the PFA Director. Applicants are welcome to participate in this process by suggesting panel candidates by emailing us at pfa@pcah.us. Panelists, chosen for their expertise and aesthetic breadth, serve for one year.
