The National Endowment for the Arts is awarding a total of $280,000 in grants to nonprofit arts organizations and cultural programming providers throughout Indiana. The funding is being awarded to 15 organizations as part of the NEA’s first round of fiscal 2023 grants.
The Grants for Arts Projects program supports public engagement with, and access to, various forms of art across the nation.
“Together, these grants show the NEA’s support nationwide for strengthening our arts and cultural ecosystems, providing equitable opportunities for arts participation and practice, and contributing to the health of our communities and our economy,” said NEA chair Dr. Maria Rosario Jackson. “I encourage everyone to explore these projects and the ways they help provide inspiration, understanding, and opportunities for us to live more artful lives.”
