The DeHaan Artist of Distinction Award provides contemporary visual artists with grants of up to $10,000 to pursue aspirational projects. Their final projects are shown during a special exhibit at Gallery 924. The Indy Arts Council, with generous support from Christel DeHaan, launched the award program in 2017 and opened it to artists statewide in 2021.
Applications are accepted, reviewed and awarded twice annually. Applicants may submit in either or both rounds.
Round 1 application deadline: May 4, 2025
