Advance Review

An Advance Review is offered prior to the final deadline to help applicants improve their applications and to check for mistakes that might cause ineligibility. All new applicants are required to submit an Advance Review.  If an applicant was declared ineligible or did not receive funding in the past year or has not applied to New Mexico Arts in the past two years, an Advance Review is required. In addition, New Mexico Arts’ Program Coordinators may require some organizations to submit an Advance Review based on past applications. Failure to comply will disqualify those organizations from submitting a Final Application in December.

New Mexico Arts strongly encourages all applicants to take advantage of this service. To complete an Advance Review, applicants must complete and submit an online application and send one set of all required application materials with titles but no signatures, including printed artistic materials.  Do not send digital images, audio cds, or video dvds, unless you make prior arrangements with your program coordinator. All Advance Review applications (Forms A-F) must be submitted online through CultureGrants Online by October 16, 2009. All required application materials must be sent by October 16, 2009.

Please mail application materials to New Mexico Arts, PO Box 1450, Santa Fe NM 87504-1450, postmarked by October 16, 2009. If using another carrier, please send application materials to New Mexico Arts, 407 Galisteo, Suite 270, Santa Fe NM 87501, and ensure that the shipping service provides date verification on the package. Please enclose an SASE for the return of your Advance Review. Include the applicant organization’s full name on the outside of the package.

Please note: An Advance Review by New Mexico Arts does not guarantee funding.
