Application Review and Award Notification

All applications will be reviewed by teams of reviewers. Applications will be discussed during public review meetings that may be held virtually or in person. Applicants and members of the public are welcome to listen to or observe the public review meeting, but may not participate in the discussion. The board takes final action to approve, amend, or decline grants recommended by the review teams. Applicants will be notified after the board has taken action on their applications.


Grant Cycle Review Meetings

Review meetings are held at the Arts Board office. In keeping with Minnesota Statutes 13D.015, members of the review team may participate in this meeting via interactive technology. Members of the public are welcome to watch the review meeting in person, via videoconference, or listen via phone, but will not be able to participate.


Any member of the public who has questions about accessibility, or accommodation to watch or listen to review meetings, may contact Annick Dall-Desbois, outreach and accessibility coordinator at Annick.Dall-Desbois@arts.state.mn.us or call (651) 539-2651 or (800) 866-2787.


The Arts Board uses the Webex videconferencing system. Members of the public who wish to watch review meetings via videoconference, but are not familiar with the Webex videoconferencing system, are encouraged to download the Webex Installation Instructions.
