We ask our reviewers to think about aspects like technical quality, artistic concept, and process (maintainability, installation, deinstallation, communications with artist) and grade each on a 1-5 scale, plus adding points for desired attributes such as being a local artist or, if it’s important to you, supporting an emerging artist or addressing issues of equity and inclusion.  This way they can be more nuanced about their scoring but still have it be numerical, if a so-called “objective” element is desired.

Hello,
I’m new to this Arts & Culture position in Georgetown, Texas.
We have a sculpture tour call for artists that we will be sending out soon.  We have done this for several years but only started having our Arts & Culture Board grade it last year.  The board found it difficult to simply rank the sculpture with a 1-9 score last year.  Do you have a grading matrix, or example of how you grade the sculpture that you could send me?  We are also wondering how to address encouraging diversity in terms of grading—should it be a consideration or not in the grading process—diversity in age, race, culture, etc.
 
Thanks for any input on this!
Sarah
