INDIANA — The Indiana Destination Development Corporation recently launched two new grants that will give local artists and communities the opportunity to create Indiana artwork and signage in highly visible locations throughout the state. The new guidelines are available online at visitindiana.com/about-idcc
The Placemaking Activation Grant is a matching grant of up to $25,000 to fund signage and placemaking efforts. The Indiana Public Art Activation Grant is a non-matching grant of up to $10,000 to fund public art projects. The IDDC plans to allocate up to $500,000 total between the two grants.
The deadline for applications is March 17 at 4 p.m. All applicants will be considered, including communities, destination marketing organizations, chambers of commerce, and private businesses. Potential public art locations can include anything from exterior walls and alleyways, to bridges, barns and more.
