The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) and its Regional Arts Partners are accepting applications for the Arts Project Support (APS) grant program.
Arts Project Support grants provide nonprofit organizations and public entities with funding 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.
The purpose of the program is to provide broad access to arts opportunities throughout the state. Applicants may request up to $4,000 to support their project, and there is no match requirement.
Key Dates:
- Spring Application Cycle deadline is March 5, 2026 by 11:59 p.m. ET (Grant period of July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027)
- Fall Application Cycle deadline is September 3, 2026 by 11:59 p.m. ET (Grant period of January 1, 2027 – December 31, 2027)
