Show Notes
The Indiana Arts Commissions Every County Funded program is revolutionizing arts funding in rural areas, with micro-grants supporting local events like the Ligonier Marshmallow Festival. This year, the festival hired performers for free, boosting attendance and overcoming funding challenges. The program has significantly reduced the number of unfunded counties, fostering connections, fair pay for artists, and strengthening local organizations. Applications for 2026 have closed, targeting seven more counties, with programs like Creative Convergence fostering collaboration between small towns and cities.
