2024 Applications Are Open

About the fellowship

What would you do if you were given $12,000 seek renewal? Since 1999, the Arts Council, with support from Lilly Endowment Inc., has invited 500+ central Indiana artists and arts administrators to do just that.

The Creative Renewal Arts Fellowship recharges artists and arts administrators with a sabbatical-like award. In 2024, 50 individuals will each be awarded $12,000 to pursue activities that will bring rest, inspiration, and energy.
