As a National Portfolio Organisation supported by Arts Council England, we are encouraged to participate in peer reviewing of events and programmes, both of our own and of other organisations. Read on to find out more how you can get involved, as well inviting peers in your network from the sector to come and review events and programmes here at the Museum.
I want to be a peer reviewer and help other organisations – how do I sign up?
As an employee of a participating cultural organisation, you can join the official register of ACE Peer Reviewers.
ACE are looking for the following qualities in peer reviewers:
- Someone with knowledge and expertise of an artform or specialist field (which, in our case, would be Museums, or could be any relevant previous experience from past roles).
- Someone able and willing to make fair and honest judgements, and give constructive criticism and feedback to help support an organisation’s development.
Joining as a peer reviewer enables other organisations to improve and critique their work, as well as to support artform innovation.
To sign up as a peer reviewer, please follow this link:

How can I invite arts professionals in my network to join our peer review database?
We currently hold our own database of peer reviewers, and we are actively looking for new colleagues to sign up. If you have contacts or colleagues in other arts and cultural organisations (or those who work freelance with these types of organisations) we would love to hear from them.
We have an email template which you can copy and paste to send to your network. Please double check the link to the Expression of Interest form is working in your invite email before you send it out.
All terms and conditions for complimentary tickets for invited peer reviewers are outlined in the template email, so please do ensure you use this when contacting your networks.
If you have any questions, please contact either Head of Public Programmes Janine Downes ([email protected]) or Audiences & Communications Manager Hannah Brown ([email protected]) for more information.
