Universal Citation: AL Admin Code R 130-X-1-.07

Current through Register Vol. 42, No. 5, February 29, 2024

(1) Since its beginning, the Alabama State Council on the Arts has sought the expertise of arts professionals from across the state to advise the Council in determining projects and programs to be funded or activities to be undertake. For this purpose, the Council appoints advisory panels in all the arts disciplines and/or grant program categories.

(2) Each advisory panel is composed of three to eight members appointed to evaluate applications submitted at a specific deadline. Panel members are selected on the basis of their special competence and reputation in their field. In the composition of each panel, geographical location is considered.

(3) Nominations for advisory panel members come from current advisors, from ASCA staff members, from arts administrators and arts organizations throughout the state, from interested citizens, and from council members.

(4) Prior to appointment and/or no later than thirty days after appointment, each panel member discloses any affiliation with any organization applying for council funding involving review by said panel member. A panel member does not in any way advise on any applications from such organizations.

(5) Duties and activities of Advisory Panels include:

(a) Review and provide a critical analysis of grant applications. This responsibility involves careful, professional judgment about the artistic merit of proposed projects in light of the guidelines for program under consideration. Recommendations of advisory panels do influence Council decision. However, the Council maintains full responsibility for final grant determination.

(b) Attendance at and evaluation of arts programs, projects, exhibits, and various arts activities.

(c) Serves as workshop resource persons, as consultants to arts organizations, and as advisors to ASCA in developing programs.

(d) Panelists are compensated for their service at a rate determined by the Council.
