Vermillion County is among those named for grant funding from the Indiana Arts Commission.
The IAC announced that it has awarded grant funding as part of the the Every County Funded grant program, which is an invitation-only program designed to support arts programming in Indiana counties that are not currently receiving support from IAC’s core grant programs.
The Every County Funded program ensures that in every Indiana county, people and communities have access to arts experiences, and is part of a suite of new IAC opportunities focused on building and supporting qualify of life at the community level.
The Every County Funded program is designed to identify partners in target counties that are interested in strengthening arts activities in their community. The program builds relationships, cultivates connection to other communities growing creative activity, and provides ongoing mentorship and technical support. Each invited community was eligible to apply for up to $10,000 for a community-focused creative project or program.
“Ongoing access to arts and creativity for all of Indiana’s people and communities is a goal for the Indiana Arts Commission,” said Miah Michaelsen, IAC Executive Director. “We are incredibly proud to support quality of life through enhancing the cultural, economic, and educational climate in each of the Hoosier State’s 92 counties.”
The 2024 Every County Funded recipients include Vermillion County 4-H which will utilize the grant for the establishment of "Clay & Connection," a ceramics studio space dedicated to providing youth and adults with a therapeutic outlet through the transformative power of art. The goal is to create an inclusive environment where individuals can explore their artistic expression, build community, and prioritize their mental wellbeing through the hands-on practice of pottery.
