(Indianapolis, Indiana) - The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) announced today it is now accepting online applications for grants through its Technical Assistance Program.

"The Indiana Arts Commission firmly believes that healthy arts organizations help to build vibrant, healthy, creative communities in our state, but challenging times often mean all groups need additional skills and resources to be successful partners in community life," said Lewis C. Ricci, IAC executive director. "The Technical Assistance Program supports established and emerging institutions and artists, helping them to develop effective leadership, sound management practices, diverse financial resources, and successful partnerships."

Applicants must be able to identify realistic strategies for developing individual and organizational skills in one or more IAC strategic priorities including: building stronger arts organizations; developing communities through arts partnerships; revitalizing a creative economy and workforce; and advancing the role of the arts in education and personal development.

The Technical Assistance Program grant is open to any Indiana private, nonprofit, tax-exempt agency, or an Indiana public entity such as a division of city, county, or state government. For more Technical Assistance Program grant information and guidelines, please visit: www.IN.gov/arts/technicalassistanceprogram.htm

Applications must be submitted through the Indiana Cultural Grants Online (http://indiana.cgweb.org/) no later than 4:30 p.m. (EDT) October 12, 2010. Projects must take place between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011.

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.
