Arts Commission to Accept Online Applications for New Arts in Education Grants Program

The Indiana Arts Commission will be accepting online applications later this month for a new grant program promoting arts education.

“This new program was developed to help support curriculum needs, impact individual student engagement and performance, and develop a long term commitment to arts in schools at the primary and secondary levels,” explained Lewis C. Ricci, IAC executive director. “A portion of the funding for this new program reflects a reinvestment of the Cultural Trust Fund revenue back to communities as well as increased funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.”

The IAC anticipates being able to fund 16 to 18 applications with grants between $5,000 and $8,000. Applicants must match dollar for dollar the IAC grant awarded with school funds, contributed funds, in-kind donations, or services. A copy of the complete arts in education program grant guidelines and online application can be found on the IAC website.

The new arts in education grant program is open to any Indiana pre-kindergarten through 12^th grade public, private, or parochial school.  Grant guidelines and applications will be posted on the IAC website August 18.
