Description
This opportunity supports research and planning for exhibition projects that investigate artistic and cultural exchanges between Southern California and the Pacific Rim. The initiative, led by the Getty Foundation as part of the PST ART 2030 program, seeks to advance transpacific art historical research that transcends national boundaries and emphasizes multidirectional geographic exchange. Projects may address a broad range of themes, including migration, diaspora, colonialism, transoceanic trade, and the movement of people, materials, and ideas that have shaped the arts in Los Angeles and the wider Pacific region. The program is research-driven and encourages collaborations among eligible institutions.
