Austin Arts, Culture, Music, and Entertainment Panelist Interest

Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment (ACME) recruits independent Reviewers to evaluate and score applications for grant programs evaluated by narrative questions.   

Reviewers help ensure our funding process is community-centered, transparent, and rooted in subject‑matter expertise. They provide informed, objective, and constructive assessments that reflect Austin’s creative vibrancy and diverse cultural ecosystem. 

Complete this form to apply to be an ACME Reviewer. Selected Reviewers will evaluate and score applications for public art commissions, grants, and other ACME programs.    

All Review Panel activities are conducted online and Reviewers participate remotely. A computer with reliable internet is required. If selected, individuals will be notified via email. We strive to balance many factors in each selection process to create an inclusive review process for all applicants. Submitting this form does not guarantee participation. Selected Reviewers will receive a maximum $500 stipend for each date of completed Review Panel services.
