The Propylaeum Receives Grant from Indiana Humanities

Along with Payroll Protection Program funds, the Propylaeum has received a $10,000 Operating Support Grant from Indiana Humanities. The funding was provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021.

The Propylaeum’s eligibility for the grant is a result of our mission of providing humanities programming to the public, by offering participants the opportunity to explore, learn and discuss the human experience. At Pages at the Prop, Prop Day, Women’s Enrichment Series, and Historic Neighborhoods of Indianapolis, we host authors, filmmakers, musicians, and playwrights,

historians and architectural specialists who inspire our audiences to reflect on historic context as it shapes trends in life today. As the stewards of a historic property, we convey history through place, offering context to the history of architecture, Indianapolis, and social and cultural trends of the late-19th and early-20th centuries.
