Indiana among four states to receive NEA accessibility grant
The Indiana Arts Commission will receive a $4,000 follow-up grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for its partnership efforts in arts accessibility, one of only four state arts organizations to receive a grant this year.
The grant will enable the IAC and its accessibility partners VSA arts of Indiana, the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, and ArtsWORK Indiana to assist artists and organizations to create local networks through monthly meetings and programming to build organizational partnerships, personal contacts, local support systems and skills that will aid artists and others in their quest for employment in the arts.
In additiona to the Indianapolis-based ArtsWORK Indiana group, satellite groups will be formed in New Albany, Bloomington, and Michigan City. Each satellite area will be paired with an organization that is physically accessible.
