Those interested in attending Arts in the Parks and Historic Sites activities should consult the specific site schedules to confirm exact dates and times.
Arts in the Parks and Historic Sites draws upon traditional and non-traditional arts and artists in Indiana, weaving arts into the state's natural beauty and rural settings. The program provides funding for arts program-related projects that encourage the creation of and public engagement with art, and experience Indiana's state park / forest system and historic sites.
"The Arts in the Parks and Historic Sites program offers something for people of all ages," Tragesser said, "and also enables Hoosiers living in more rural areas to access cultural experiences they might not otherwise have available to them."
Applications for the 2018 Arts in the Parks and Historic Sites program will open in July with an application deadline of September 6, 2017 for organizations and September 13, 2017 for individuals.
The Indiana Arts Commission will host two grant application webinars July 12, 2017 for potential grant applicants. A webinar for organizations will be held at 2:00 p.m. (EDT), and the webinar for individuals will begin at 6:00 p.m. (EDT). The webinars are free.
