Illinois -- The Fiscal Year 2013 guidelines and application for the Illinois Arts Council's Individual Artist Support (IAS) program are now available. Individual Artist Support funds will help Illinois artists realize career goals, take advantage of professional opportunities, and/or produce projects or bodies of work for public viewing.  The IAS program represents the Arts Council's commitment to continuing to support the work of individual artists.

"The Illinois Arts Council recognizes that individual artists are the keystone to the creation of art," says Shirley R. Madigan, Illinois Arts Council Chairman.
