Region organizations among recipients of Indiana Arts Commission grants

The Indiana Arts Commission's latest grant cycle includes funding for several region organizations.

The Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra and South Shore Arts were the biggest local recipients of Arts Organization Support grants for fiscal year 2023, at $17,201 each. Chicago Street Theatre, Indiana Ballet Theatre and Memorial Opera House each got $9,054.

Meanwhile, 13 Lake County and 12 Porter County organizations got funding for specific projects. Northwest Indiana Public Broadcasting was among those recipients.

The Indiana Arts Commission said in a press release that the arts not only boost Hoosiers' quality of life, but also drive economic development in the state.
