The Indiana Arts Commission and the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana acting as the state’s Regional Art Partner announced 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,” said Miah Michaelsen, IAC Executive Director. “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.”
A Program Information Webinar for Returning Applicants will be held on January 18, 2024, 4:00 p.m. eastern time. Register to attend the Program Information Webinar for Returning Applicants. A Program Information Webinar for New Applicants will take place on January 24, 2024, 4:00 p.m. eastern time. Register to attend the Program Information Webinar for New Applicants.
