Description
This grant opportunity, led by the Getty Foundation, is part of the PST ART 2030 initiative—a region-wide collaboration focused on artistic and cultural exchanges between Southern California and the Pacific Rim. The grant supports research and planning for projects that investigate historical and contemporary connections, such as migration, diaspora, trade, and the flow of artistic ideas and materials across the Pacific. The initiative encourages multidirectional and cross-cultural approaches and seeks to generate new insights in art history. Projects funded in this cycle will inform a major exhibition program opening in 2030.
