Arts Organization Support (AOS)

About this program

The Indiana Arts Commission’s Arts Organization Support (AOS) program provides stable, multi-year operating grants to Indiana arts organizations to help them deliver high-quality artistic experiences statewide; awards are offered in odd-numbered years and recipients receive funding for two fiscal years (e.g., FY26–FY27). The program prioritizes equitable distribution across varied geographies and organizational budget sizes to support a broad range of arts providers. Eligible applicants are Indiana-based arts organizations meeting IAC guidelines and must apply during the program’s open cycle (every odd calendar year).
