Grants in Action 

Each year, A.R.T./New York awards $63,000 through the Edith Lutyens and Norman Bel Geddes Design Enhancement Fund to companies who wish to augment their design budgets and take their creative visions to the next level. With grants ranging from $2,000-$6,000, companies with shows already in the works may use the award to elevate their original concepts and boost their show’s ‘wow’ factor with improvements to their sound, lighting, costume, special effects, set design, multimedia elements, or any other design element.

This October, four of our seven grantees have their shows up and running. We encourage you to check out their incredible work!
