The Multidisciplinary Panel includes panelists with experience in a variety of different fields and disciplines. Panelists are drawn from a broad mix of organizations, which could include museums, theaters, artist-run groups, folk societies, universities, service organizations, or any other organization related to NYSCA's mission. The diverse nature of this panel makes it well suited to evaluate applications from organizations that do not fit easily into any of the other panels.Image: Arm-of-the-Sea Theater Children's Workshop.
