GRANT PROGRAMS
THE EDITH LUTYENS & NORMAN BEL GEDDES FUND
Since 2004, the Edith Lutyens and Norman Bel Geddes Design Enhancement Fund has directly supported member theatres’ productions by augmenting design budgets beyond what companies can typically afford. Developed from the estate of noted designers Edith Lutyens and Norman Bel Geddes, the fund enhances designers’ experiences and furthers their artistic growth. Companies with budgets under $5 million and that have their own 501(c)(3) status are eligible apply to increase the costume, set, lighting, sound, and/or media elements of one upcoming production each fall.
CREATIVE SPACE GRANTS
In 2011, A.R.T./New York debuted the Creative Space Grant in order to provide members with fully-subsidized rehearsal, reading, workshop, and meeting space at both of its facilities. Supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the grant awards recipients between 25-75 hours twice each year. All member organizations are eligible to apply.
THE NANCY QUINN FUND
Too small to be eligible for funding at many foundations, companies with operating budgets under $100,000 turn to the Nancy Quinn Fund for support. Created in 1993, the fund offers yearly general operating grants to the City’s smallest theatres. Applicants are required to have taken A.R.T./New York’s Organizational Planning and Process workshop, and then are eligible to apply year after year.
