For some time M&G NSW has relied on its hardworking Reference and Assessment Committees to consider, advise and recommend where and how our devolved funding is allocated. This has been a successful and sustainable model ensuring that our project funding is targeted to where it’s most needed, in a responsive and timely way.
To make the model more flexible and relevant, in 2015 we have collated a Panel of Peers to ensure specific types of expertise is always at hand. The Panel of Peers is made up of people who work or volunteer in the museum, gallery or Aboriginal cultural centre sector across NSW with cultural heritage experience, museum and gallery technical skills, interdisciplinary and specific art form expertise.
Through out 2015, we’ll call for individual peers to provide accurate and up to date advice, knowledge of industry best practice and the ability to make fair and informed assessments of funding applications.
