Indiana Arts Commission Announces 2027 Arts Project Support Grants

Arts Project Support grants from the Indiana Arts Commission provide funding to nonprofit organizations and public entities 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.

Applications are due March 5, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. eastern time through the IAC's online grant system. 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.

The program aims to provide broad access to arts opportunities throughout the state. According to IAC Executive Director Miah Michaelsen, "Arts Project Support grants provide Indiana communities with an opportunity to increase the quality of life and quality of place for local residents. 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."
