The Awards

The awards themselves are designed to encourage the continued work of Indiana artists. In addition to seeing nominations for award recipients, the IAC conducts a limited call to contemporary visual artists seeking proposals for the awards. A committee reviews artist proposals and samples of previous work, and then selects an artist to create original works of art to use for the awards. Awards have included sculptures made of glass, limestone, and ceramics; blown glass vessels, and paintings. Lois Main Templeton, Leigh Taylor Wyatt, David Rodenberg, and Red Rohall are among the distinguished list of Hoosier artists who have created previous Governor's Arts Awards.
