The IAC will begin accepting grant applications for a new, federally funded component of the Individual Artist Program (IAP).
The new grant category, supported with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA), will permit artists with disabilities to receive grants of up to $2,000 for projects that will have a positive impact on their career development.
Artists in the following disciplines may apply to the program: crafts; design; media arts; folk arts; photography; visual arts; dance; literature; music or theatre. All grant applications must be made through the IAC's online grants system.
Complete program guidelines and application information may be found on the IAC website. Deadline for application is February 1, 2010.
The IAC will host two additional grant application workshops with a special focus toward first-time grant writers and emerging artists interested in the Artist Access category. Specifics of the Artist Access program and grant writing tips will be offered at both workshop sessions.
Sign language interpretation will be provided at this workshop.
For more information about the Artist Access Program, to RSVP for a workshop or arrange for special accommodations at workshops, please contact Kristina Davis-Smith at 317-232-1279 or email: kdavis-smith@iac.in.gov. Upon request, a free call-in number will be provided to artists with disabilities who are not able to attend these dates in person. Special accommodations must be requested at least five business days prior to the workshop date.
On behalf of the people of Indiana, the Indiana Arts Commission advocates engagement with the arts to enrich the quality of individual and community life.
