IAC Logo

Grant recipients must credit the Illinois Arts Council in all promotional material and public notices following notification of funding through the end of the grant period in the following manner:

“<YOUR ORGANIZATION NAME> acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council.”

Use of the new logo will be required for all FY26 grant recipients. 

Logo use is restricted to current Illinois Arts Council grantees only. Individuals or organizations found to be in violation of the Illinois Arts Council Logo Use Policy will be given 30 days to rectify and/or remove any unauthorized use of the Illinois Arts Council logo or misleading text from any and all advertising. The Illinois Arts Council will notify the individual or program via email or by phone stating what must be done to rectify the situation.

The Illinois Arts Council logo is available for download in a variety of styles:

• jpeg - black
• jpeg - black and green

If you were notified that your grant was funded through federal funds you must, in addition to acknowledging support from the Illinois Arts Council, credit the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).  Please use this language in all promotional material and public notices:

"This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts"

When possible include the NEA logo in addition to the IAC's logo.  You may download the NEA logo from the NEA website.

The Illinois Arts Council (IAC) is excited to launch a new social media campaign celebrating our FY26 grantees! Artists and arts organizations can showcase their achievements by sharing our customizable graphics: “I/we received an FY26 grant from the IAC.” Simply download the PNG or JPG files below. You may use the JPG as a standalone graphic or superimpose the PNG file on a photo of yourself or your organization. This is a fantastic opportunity to highlight your hard work and the vital support from the IAC. Let’s amplify the arts in Illinois together! 

Guidelines for proper use:

• Logo use is restricted to current Illinois Arts Council grantees only.
• The "I/We Got an FY26 IAC Grant" graphic is intended for social media use.
• Organizations should NOT use the "We Got an FY26 IAC Grant" in lieu of the official IAC logo to formally acknowledge IAC support in promotional material and public notices. 
• The design graphic has a rotation angle of 3.25%. This is intentional. Please do not alter the image.
• The PNG file may be superimposed on a photo of yourself or your organization (see example above).
• The JPEG graphic can be used as a stand-alone for social media posts (see example below).
• If you were notified that your grant was funded through federal funds, you must, in addition to acknowledging support from the Illinois Arts Council, credit the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). See "Recipients of Federally Funded IAC Grants" above.
