Arts Project Support

Arts Project Support (APS) grants provide funding to Indiana 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations and public entities for a specific arts project or arts activity(ies). Some examples of eligible projects include a one-time art event, a single performance, an exhibition, an educational workshop, or series of related arts activities such as art classes or training sessions that are open to the public whether free or for a fee. APS is administered by the Regional Arts Partners (RAP) across the state. This grant program is created with a focus on the Indiana Arts Commission’s Funding Imperatives.

APS applicants may request up to $5,000 to support their arts project. Grant funds must only be used for eligible expenses only.

This grant program’s objective is to provide:

  1. The general public access to quality arts activities, with special attention to underserved communities; and,
  2. Support for local or Indiana artists who are a vital part of Indiana’s economy and community life.

Match Requirement: There is no match requirement for this grant.

Each eligible application will be reviewed by a conflict-free panel of field professionals using the Arts Project Support application review criteria. Panels consist of  panelists with field-related professional experience. Panels are designed to be diverse demographically, geographically, and artistically. Panelists review (read, score and comment upon) applications individually before coming together for a virtual discussion.

The virtual public panel review sessions will take place online in April and May and will be open to applicants and the public for observation only and will be recorded. Applicants are invited as observers only and cannot lobby or address the panel on behalf of their applications before, during, or after the panel meeting. The panel date, time, and registration information will be posted here by April 11, 2023.
