The Fishers Arts & Culture Commission has a job to do in 2024, sorting out 26 grant requests totaling $173,000.  The Commission is provided a $60,000 annual budget from the Fishers City Council to support the arts locally.  There is also another fund that the Commission has for supporting the local arts, totaling more than $151,000.  The $60,000 from the City Council must be spent in 2024, with any remaining funds at the end of the year going into the city’s general fund.  The more than $151,000 fund continues year-to-year.

The Commission now has the job of reviewing each funding request and evaluating which projects will be funded and in what amounts.  Each Commission member will be evaluating each request.  You can review the requests at this link.

In one other item, Jocelyn Vare was elected to serve as the Commission’s Chairperson in 2024.  Angie Frazier will serve as Vice President.
