Local Art Organizations Receive Grant Funds

Dubois Co.- Local art organizations will be receiving state grant funds.

Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC) today announced more than $414,000 of grant funding for 38 IN Indiana Public Art Activation and IN Indiana Placemaking projects in 26 counties across Indiana.

"It is wonderful to see each corner of the Hoosier state driven and motivated to create spaces and works of art that will help tell Indiana's story," said Lt. Gov. Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. "As each individual project is completed, Indiana's character and culture will be put on display for Hoosiers and visitors to appreciate."

The IN Indiana Public Art Grant is a matching grant of up to $10,000 to fund public art projects. The IN Indiana Placemaking Grant is a non-matching grant of up to $25,000 to fund signage and placemaking efforts.

Locally, the following organizations are receiving Indiana Public Art Grant funds:

- Destination Huntingburg

- Main Street Jasper

Visit Dubois County is receiving funds through the Indiana Placemaking Grant as well.
