Programs and Services
The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) announced it has awarded $2,353,529.63 to 324 nonprofit and public entities to fund arts organizations and arts projects around the state through the Fiscal Year 2027 Arts Organization Support and Fiscal Year 2027 Spring Arts Project Support grant programs.
During its June 12 Quarterly Business Meeting, the Commission approved the funding recommendations for the two grant programs. Arts Organization Support grants operate on a two-year cycle and provide annual operating support for the ongoing artistic and administrative functions of eligible arts organizations. Arts Project Support grants provide funding of up to $4,000 to eligible Indiana nonprofit organizations and public entities for a specific arts project or arts activity(ies). 73 of Indiana’s 92 counties will receive funding through these grant programs.
Arts Illiana, Regional Arts Partner with the Indiana Arts Commission, is pleased to announce the following grantees in Region 6--representing the following counties: Clay, Putnam, Vermillion, and Vigo:
Arts Organization Support (AOS): Community Theatre of Clay County; The Castle (Putnam Co); Putnam County Playhouse; Terre Haute Symphony Association; Terre Haute Community Band; Art Spaces; Swope Art Museum.

Arts Project Support: Greencastle Arts Council; DePauw Creative School; North Vermillion Jr/Sr High School; Indiana State University Community School of the Arts; Linda Luebke Strings Festival; Putnam County Mural Project; and CANDLES Holocaust Museum.
Just over $93.000 in grant funding went to our regional arts organizations and arts project providers. Congratulations to all!
