(AAPNW-IN) – Hoosier artists in selected disciplines have until February 14, 2011 to submit applications for the Indiana Arts Commission’s Individual Artist Program (IAP) grant. The guidelines can be found at: www.in.gov/arts/individualartistprogram.htm.
Significant changes in artistic disciplines accepted for application, during this period, will only be considered in the areas of: dance, theater, literature, music, and folk arts related to the traditional disciplines. Individual artists living and working in Indiana may apply for up to $2,000, which requires no matching funds. The grants are intended to assist artists with specific project-related costs that will help them further their career and provide significant public benefit through the completed project.
Only Indiana residents of 18 years of age and older can apply, or must be an Indiana resident for at least one year prior to the date of the application, and plan to remain in the state for the full grant period. Artists may not be enrolled in a degree-granting program, and all projects must be completed between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012.
