JACKSON, MISS. – April 10, 2019 – In an effort to increase access, Mississippi Arts Commission’s upcoming grant review panels will be remotely available to the public online or by phone. Traditionally, these panel discussions have been held in-person at the MAC office in downtown Jackson. Through the new service, grant applicants and the public will be able to call in or login online to access the application review. Panel reviews are an important part of MAC’s annual grant process, which includes a discussion of each application.

Interested parties should contact the MAC office to obtain detailed call-in information for each panel. An overview of the panel schedule is available on the MAC website at www.arts.ms.gov/grants. Those who have an application being adjudicated should contact MAC to determine the date and approximate time their application is scheduled for review.
