Reading Room: Conversations with 2024 MAP Fund Reviewers
https://mapfund.org/conversations-with-2024-reviewers/
Taking into account the breadth across our applicant pool, we invited reviewers to draw upon their own knowledge, expertise, and understanding of MAP’s mission, bringing their whole selves to the process and actively challenging any preconceptions about what a funded project is “supposed” to look like. Rather than impose rigid parameters–which can in no way serve as an appropriate requirement for every project, nor encourage the variety of exploration that MAP champions–we invited reviewers to consider each applicant’s own standards, definitions, and goals for artistic expression.
