INDIANA — The Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) recently announced that contributions to the Arts Trust endowment through license plate sales, along with funds from the IAC’s appropriation from the Indiana General Assembly, are supporting Arts Project Support grants across the state.

Last year, the IAC issued a survey to plateholders asking what they value most about the arts. Overwhelmingly, plateholders told the IAC they value the way the arts connect their communities.

"The arts are the glue that holds a community together. They’re a key component of our quality of life, and this plate helps me tell that story to everyone I pass by on a daily basis," said one Tippecanoe County plateholder.

Each year, one Arts Project Support grant from every county submitting a project will hold the honor of being an Arts Trust License Plate Project. These projects were selected based on their exemplary commitment to bringing their communities together.

Those interesting in purchasing a "Celebrate the Arts" license plate should visit their local BMV or www.IN.gov/bmv.
