A panel is comprised of individuals from the Oneida community, the arts community, and the not-for-profit or business community with expertise in arts, business, or community affairs. The panels are chaired by an Oneida Nation Arts Board member who facilitates the meeting as a nonvoting member of the panel.

Panel Meetings
All panel meetings are open to the public. Applicants will be notified of the panel meeting date, place and time at least one week prior to the meeting.


Review of Fellowship Awards

Applicants are encouraged to attend the meeting. As panelists may ask for clarification from the applicant. Reviews of fellowship awards does not include any interaction with the applicant. The review is based solely on the merit of the artwork and the application.

2. There was influence by an ONAP staff person or ONAP volunteer panelist having a conflict of interest ;or
3. Required information submitted by the applicant was withheld from consideration.
