Indiana Arts Commission accepting applications for Arts Project Support grant program

The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) and its Regional Arts Partners announced on Thursday the opening of applications for the Fiscal Year 2025 Arts Project Support grant program.

Arts Project Support grants provide nonprofit organizations and public entities with funding to support a specific arts activity, such as a one-time event, a single production, an exhibition, an educational workshop, or a series of related arts activities such as art classes or training sessions.

The purpose of the program is to provide broad access to arts opportunities throughout the state. Applicants may request up to $4,000 to support their project, and there is no match requirement. Projects must occur between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, to be eligible for FY25 Arts Project Support.

“Arts Project Support grants are a wonderful opportunity for Indiana communities to bolster and grow their creative activities,” IAC Executive Director Miah Michaelsen said. “We encourage organizations and public entities to apply for funding to start new programming, expand existing offerings, or reimagine a community event. Arts and creativity help strengthen the fabric of Indiana communities, and we are proud to support the creative community development work that Hoosiers are doing in every corner of our state.”
