These grants support the publication of groups of books by different authors that have a coherent intellectual rationale, whether or not they are conceived as a formal series. The books proposed must make a significant contribution to the understanding of art and its history.
Presses may apply for support for various costs related to the development, editing, design, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of either print or electronic publications.
Applications are accepted only for groups of books and not for individual volumes. Publication Grants do not cover authors' fees or research expenses. For the publication of reference works, please see our Critical Reference Resources section. For the publication of scholarly catalogues of museum collections, please see our Cataloguing of Museum Collections section.
Eligibility
Nonprofit charitable presses and, in certain circumstances, other types of publishers, are eligible to apply. Applications must be submitted at least one year in advance of the date of publication.
Preliminary Procedures
The first step in applying for a Publication Grant is to submit a preliminary letter of inquiry to determine eligibility. The letter (maximum two pages) should include the following:
- a brief description of the nature and scope of the publication project and its importance to the field;
- a preliminary list of the authors and titles to be included in the proposed group of publications;
- an estimate of the amount of financial support to be requested from the Getty Foundation; and
- a brief explanation on the tax status of the publisher applying for the grant.
If the project is eligible for consideration, the publisher will be asked to submit a formal application and will be sent the necessary application instructions.
