VolunteerThe Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs is seeking individuals interested in reviewing applications for cultural grants funding from Miami-Dade County.

Panels are comprised of artists, art-related professionals, educators, community members, business leaders and others with current or prior active involvement in the arts, such as board members of cultural organizations. Panelists help maintain a fair and open process and assist in the continuous development of Miami-Dade County’s artistic and cultural communities by bringing their expertise to the review panel process. All panels meetings are open to the public.
