NEW grant opportunities for artists.

Thanks to generous community support, the Arts Council of Indianapolis raised over $13 million to support independent artists and performers, and nonprofit arts and culture organizations in Indianapolis in 2020. 

In 2021, the Arts Council will go a step further with the Keep Indy Creating Fund. With new findings in mind from a recent survey of artists and creatives, we will go beyond supplementing income and instead give funds designed to help artists restart or jumpstart their careers. Grants will also be awarded to support mental health services for artists.
