Description
PST ART 2030 is the fourth edition of the Pacific Standard Time initiative, led by the J. Paul Getty Trust. This cycle focuses on fostering new research into the artistic and cultural exchanges between Southern California and the Pacific Rim. The program encourages multidisciplinary and collaborative projects that explore historical and contemporary interactions, including migration, diaspora, trade, and the movement of ideas and aesthetics across the Pacific. The initiative begins with a research phase (2026–2030), culminating in a region-wide exhibition program. Funding is provided for research and planning, with future opportunities for implementation support.
