WABASH, IN- Today, the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) announced it has awarded $32,678 to Honeywell Arts & Entertainment through the Arts Organization Support grant program.
During its June 10th Quarterly Business Meeting, the Commission approved funding recommendations for the Arts Project Support and Arts Organization Support grant programs. Over 460 applications were reviewed by 85 Hoosiers from around the state specializing in arts, community development, and finance.
“The projects and organizations that are receiving funding are improving the economic and educational climates of the state of Indiana,” said Alberta Barker, Chair of the Indiana Arts Commission. “The Commission is delighted to support this investment in Hoosier communities. It is a privilege to uplift the impressive creative work being done around the state.”
The funding will allow Honeywell Arts & Entertainment to continue expansion of its regional arts, education, and entertainment program offerings. CEO Tod Minnich states, “This generous grant award from the Indiana Arts Commission is integral to the work that we do on a daily basis to provide offerings that truly inspire and uplift; enliven and entertain; and connect and engage individuals from all corners of Indiana and beyond.”
“Art and creativity strengthen the fabric of Indiana’s communities. They promote connection and cohesion, foster the entrepreneurial spirit communities need to thrive, and create the kinds of communities where people want to live,” said Miah Michaelsen, Executive Director of the Indiana Arts Commission. “In each of Indiana’s 92 counties, public funding for arts and creativity continually proves to be a high-return investment that improves the quality of life of every Hoosier and drives economic development within our state.”
