Power Plant Grants

Applications are currently closed.

The Power Plant Grant program is facilitated by the nonprofit arts organization Big Car Collaborative and are made possible by funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts’ Regional Regranting Program.

Power Plant Grant supports project grants for visual artists who live or work Indianapolis, Indiana and create new work.

Each year — based on selections by an independent panel — five individual artists or teams receive awards of $12,000.

The goal is to energize the Indianapolis arts community and support visual artists by encouraging them to grow by taking chances, realizing untapped potential, trying experimental projects, collaborating with each other, and bringing work to unusual places – all without a lot of red tape.

Eligible applicants are visual and or multidisciplinary artists who create original work in painting, drawing, sculpture, book art, ceramics, fiber, printmaking, digital and media works, film, video, photography, performance art, sound art, social practice and or hybrid or interdisciplinary practice of any or all of the above.
