ETC’s Light the Way Program aims to support the next generation of lighting design and technology professionals by providing equipment grants to selected non-profit organizations.
Each year, ETC reviews applications from programs and organizations that provide design or technical training in performance arts. ETC awards grants based on where our equipment can provide the most impact.
