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.
