MAEP Artist Panel Requirements

All artists who currently live and work in Minnesota are eligible for the MAEP Artist Panel, with the exception of degree-seeking students and permanent Mia staff.

The MAEP Artist Panel is compensated for their time and labor.

The MAEP Artist Panel is committed to diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. To learn more about Mia’s Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility Policy, click here.

Two positions on the MAEP Artist Panel are reserved for artists residing outside of the seven-county Twin Cities metro region (Hennepin, Ramsey, Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Washington, and Wright). The panel is not limited to two artists residing in Greater Minnesota. Should one or no artists from Greater Minnesota run for the MAEP Panel, then the panel may be formed from Metro-residing artists.

Reviews are done via the Submittable platform. Panelists must have access to a computer with Safari or Google Chrome browsers and have internet access to review proposals.

Panelists commit to reviewing three open calls over a two-week period during the months of July, November, and March. After reviewing, panelists hold a virtual meeting (Zoom or Google Meet) to select one application.

If a panelist is unable to attend a meeting, they must inform the MAEP Coordinator prior to the meeting.
