If applicants are available, they are welcome to join virtually and listen to the deliberation of their own application or any other. Members of the public, including applicants, who attend this meeting are not permitted to speak, their attendance will not be recorded, and their presence will have no impact on the review or scoring of their application. SFAC offers this opportunity to help applicants improve upon their own proposal and learn from the panel as they discuss the various strengths and areas of improvement of grant application submissions. 

Benefits of attending the review panels:

• Opportunity to have your work reviewed by experienced artists, administrators, and peers in the field 
• Get an overview of the applicant pool 
• Gain insights into broader trends and field issues 

• Get feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of your application, including project design/narrative, project budget, work sample(s), etc.

The time frame in which your application will be reviewed is listed below. Scheduled times provided are approximate and subject to change. We try to keep as close to the schedule as possible, but may run early or over time.
