Project Grants: Art Activities in Public Spaces
the opportunity
Indy Arts Council grants of $2,000 to $10,000, with no match required, for individual artists and nonprofits to develop and present arts activities in public spaces in Marion County, Indiana, such as parks and libraries; projects at Indy Parks and Indianapolis Public Library branches may be prioritized when they fit the site's goals. Applicants propose a clear plan for activities that connect with a specific audience; all program-related expenses are eligible, including artist fees, but permanent public art installations are not. Funded programs must take place, and funds be spent, between April 1, 2027 and March 31, 2028. Optional call-out meetings on October 9 (Zoom, recorded) and October 13 (Central Library) cover the application and the parks' and libraries' priorities.
eligibility
Individual artists 18 or older who are residents of Marion County and can provide an SSN, ITIN, or A-Number, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits (or fiscally sponsored groups) primarily serving and headquartered in Marion County. Past project grant awardees, schools, universities, and fundraising-only organizations are ineligible.
