Arts Commission hold s information sessions on proposed grant program changes
The Indiana Arts Commission recently held three public information sessions to review proposed modifications to its grant programs to arts organizations and cultural program providers.
The meetings were held February 13, 2013 via conference call and reviewed proposed changes to the IAC's Regional Arts Operating Support grants (AOS I, AOS II), Arts Project Support (APS), and Multi-Regional/AOS III grant programs. The proposed changes are the result of a year-long review by a study committee comprised of current and former Regional Arts Partners, current and former IAC commissioners, and IAC staff, and the information sessions are designed to elicit feedback from program participants.
The PowerPoint meeting presentation was posted on the IAC website prior to the conference call sessions. To download the PowerPoint meeting presentation, click here.
