Arts Education
The IAC helps strengthen arts education in Indiana by providing assistance to enhance arts education delivery, support, and resources. We hope to increase access to arts education resources for educators, artists, and arts organizations as well as increase public awareness of the value of whole child education and in life-long learning in the arts.
Arts in Education Granting Program
The Arts in Education (AIE) Granting Program was created to help support curriculum needs, impact individual student engagement and performance, and develop a long term commitment to the arts in schools at the primary and secondary levels. Schools are asked to develop a working partnership with an artist, organization, business or group to develop and implement a successful project. All projects must meet current state curriculum standards.
Program Information and Guidelines
Poetry Out Loud
The Poetry Out Loud: National Recitation Contest was created in 2005 by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation. The contest is administered in partnership with State Arts Agencies.
Poetry Out Loud builds on the recent resurgence of poetry as an oral art form, as demonstrated by the slam poetry movement and the immense popularity of rap music among our youth. The program encourages the nation's youth to learn about great poetry through memorization and performance, which help students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about our literary heritage.
