Arts Board Calendar

Grant Program Activity Dates

FY 2022 (July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022)

(*) All funded activities must take place within the grant period.

Application Review and Award Notification

Given the COVID-19 pandemic there will be no in person review meetings. All applications will be reviewed and scored remotely by teams of reviewers. Public review meetings will be held virtually. The board will meet monthly to review and approve grant recommendations. Applicants will be notified after the board has taken action on their applications.

Panel Review Meetings

Panel meetings will be conducted via telephone(*).

Members of the public will be welcome to call in and listen to the review.

FY 2022

(*) Minnesota Statutes 13D.021 states that agencies may conduct public meetings by phone or other electronic means if the presiding officer, chief legal counsel, or chief administrative officer for the affected governing body determines that an in person meeting is not practical or prudent because of a health pandemic or an emergency declared under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 12.

Given the COVID-19 pandemic, the governor's declaration of the peacetime emergency under chapter 12, and the governor's stay at home executive order, the Arts Board has determined that it will not be feasible for advisory panel members to participate in these meetings in person.
