Edith Lutyens & Norman Bel Geddes Design Enhancement Fund Overview

Edith Lutyens and Norman Bel Geddes created their namesake foundation to support the design and production costs of New York City-based non-profit theatre companies. The Edith Lutyens and Norman Bel Geddes Design Enhancement Fund provides grants for the artistic needs of a production and allows a designer to more fully realize their artistic vision for a production.

Design can impact the artists and audiences involved in a production in many ways, from formal and technological innovations to augmenting the audience's experience in the theatre. Applicants may request support for design elements including (but not limited to) sets, lights, sound, costumes, video, puppetry, props, or multimedia design elements.
