Arts Operating Support:

Arts Operating Support Grants are for non-profit organizations whose main purpose is art.  AOS grants will open again in 2025.

Arts Project Support:

Guidelines for Arts Project Support FY 25 have been released. Arts Project Support is a core grant program of the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC), provides funding to 501c3 nonprofits, units of government, and schools to support arts projects that occur during the grant period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025. Some examples of eligible projects include a one-time art event, a single performance, an exhibition, an educational workshop, or series of related arts activities such as art classes or training sessions that are open to the public whether free or for a fee. The purpose of the program is to provide broad access to arts opportunities throughout the state. Applicants may request up to $4,000 (new) to support their project, and there is no match requirement.
