Description
Connecting Art Histories is a Getty Foundation initiative that strengthens art history globally through sustained intellectual exchange across nations and regions. Launched in 2009, it focuses particularly on places where art history is an emerging discipline and where economic or political realities have limited collaboration. Supported activities include immersive research seminars, virtual convenings, dissertation workshops, graduate courses, intergenerational seminars, and visiting professor programs that train younger scholars and build professional networks.
The Foundation welcomes regional project teams connecting art historians with scholars in adjacent disciplines, arts professionals, and people whose expertise is rooted in local traditions and cultural stewardship. It is exploring a stronger emphasis on these collaborations to advance a more adaptive, connected, and relevant discipline across diverse geographies and intellectual traditions.
