The Getty Conservation Institute has launched a new residential
program that serves to encourage new ideas and perspectives in the
field of conservation, with an emphasis on the visual arts—namely
sites, buildings, objects—and the theoretical underpinnings of
the field.The program provides an opportunity for distinguished
scholars and professionals to pursue scholarly research and innovative
thinking in an interdisciplinary manner across traditional boundaries
in areas of wide general interest to the international conservation
community.
Conservation Guest Scholars are in residence for three to nine
months. They receive a stipend, housing, a workstation at the GCI,
and access to the GCI's resources. Grants are awarded on a
competitive basis.
