Indiana Arts Commission accepting applications for Arts Project Support grant program

The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) and its Regional Arts Partners announced today the opening of applications for the Fiscal Year 2027 Spring 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. Applications are accepted twice per year, with organizations eligible to receive one grant award per fiscal year.      

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, 2026 and June 30, 2027 to be eligible for FY27 Spring Arts Project Support.      

“Arts Project Support grants provide Indiana communities with an opportunity to increase the quality of life and quality of place for local residents,” said Miah Michaelsen, IAC Executive Director. “Arts and creativity are a community and economic development driver, and we are proud to support Hoosiers who are working to making Indiana a better place to live, work, study, and stay through the arts.” 

Applications for the Arts Project Support program are reviewed and scored by members of the public. Reviewers play a significant role in application evaluation for public funding by reviewing, scoring, and providing comments on submitted applications. Learn more about serving as a grant reviewer and submit an interest form.     

Applications for Arts Project Support are due March 5, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. eastern time through the IAC's online grant system. Learn more and access the guidelines.

Arts Commission Announces Creative Aging Summit

(INDIANAPOLIS) The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC), in partnership with the UIndy Center for Aging & Community (UIndy CAC), is excited to announce the Lifelong Arts Indiana Creative Aging Summit on March 23, 2026, at the University of Indianapolis campus in Indianapolis, Indiana.

This free, one-day in-person learning opportunity will bring together aging service providers, libraries, communities and arts organizations, as well as artists and experts on creative aging around supporting the expansion of arts learning for older adults in Indiana. The convening will offer learning, networking, and resources to anyone interested in providing arts experiences to older adults using the Lifelong Arts Indiana model.

Lifelong Arts Indiana, a multi-year initiative of the IAC, is designed to bring evidence-based participatory arts programming to older adults across Indiana to improve health and wellbeing outcomes through best-practices trainings and funded residencies. Research on the programming revealed that the Lifelong Arts Indiana model improved the mental and physical health of older adults, created meaningful employment opportunities for artists, and created sustainable community partnerships.

"Lifelong Arts Indiana has been a multi-year effort from our agency and partners to improve health outcomes and reduce social isolation among older Hoosiers through art and creativity," said Miah Michaelsen, Executive Director of the Indiana Arts Commission. "We are grateful for the opportunity to share the impact and importance of this work and to help encourage its utilization across Indiana and beyond."

More information regarding the full summit agenda and speakers will be announced over the coming weeks and made available on the IAC website. Seating is limited and all attendees must register in advance. Learn more about the event and register by March 9, 2026.
