Description
Launched by the Getty Foundation in 2009, Connecting Art Histories strengthens art history globally through sustained intellectual exchange across nations and regions. It particularly focuses on places where the discipline is emerging and where economic or political conditions have limited collaboration. Supported activities include immersive research seminars, virtual convenings, dissertation workshops, graduate courses, and visiting professor programs that help younger scholars build networks with peers and advanced researchers.
The Foundation is exploring an evolution of the initiative toward regional collaborations linking art historians with scholars in adjacent disciplines, curators, conservators, artists, and people whose expertise is rooted in local traditions and cultural stewardship. These exchanges aim to foster a more adaptive, connected, and relevant discipline across diverse geographies and intellectual traditions.
