MAEP Artist Panel

From Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program

The MAEP is directed by a revolving panel of seven artists elected for two-year terms by and from the state's artist community. The Artist Panel is responsible for selecting exhibitions and directing overall policy.

Panel elections are held every fall at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts during the Program's Annual Meeting. All artists who live and work in Minnesota are invited to attend this meeting to participate in the nomination and election of panel members.

The Artist Panel represents Minnesota's artist community. Approximately 70 percent of the aritst population reside in the seven-county Twin Cities metro area and are represented by five artists from the metro area. The remaining 30 percent live outside the Twin Cities and are represented by two artists who live in greater Minnesota.

Each panelist serves a two-year term. Half of the panel rotates out of office each year, a system that porvides a new input while maintaining continuity.
