Support for Exhibitions, Education, and Special Initiatives

Getty receives support from individuals, corporations, and foundations for our dynamic array of exhibitions. We work collaboratively with corporate sponsors to create customized benefits that ensure strong brand recognition and high visibility. Foundations and individual donors who share our vision help to take our exhibitions to greater heights with their generous financial support.
 
 

The Education Department at the J. Paul Getty Museum offers outstanding programs and resources for K-12 students and teachers, college students and faculty, families, teens, community groups, and museum educators at both the Getty Center and the Getty Villa. With generous support from the Getty Patron Program, individual donors, and institutional partners, the department enables the Museum to engage with visitors, inspiring them to look more closely and better understand the artworks they view.

Thoughtful and engaging education programs further Getty’s mission to encourage the appreciation and understanding of art, its history, and contexts by: 

• Facilitating a variety of learning experiences centered on works of art
• Developing interpretive strategies that promote visual comprehension of the collection
• Enhancing educational opportunities for a wide range of audiences
• Collaborating across Getty in order to actively contribute to creative opportunities
   
   

Getty’s special initiatives involve unique collaborations between Getty programs and with partner organizations around the globe. Drawing on Getty’s unparalleled capacity as a convener, this exchange results in one-of-a-kind exhibitions as well as groundbreaking research and conservation. Individuals, corporations, and foundations have partnered with Getty on some of our boldest initiatives, including Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA and the LA Arts Recovery Fund. Coming up in 2024, PST ART: Art & Science Collide will unite 50+ organizations and over 800 artists across Southern California for a landmark exploration of pressing issues of the current day.

PST ART

PST ART (formerly Pacific Standard Time) is the largest art event in the United States. It returns for its third edition on September 15, 2024, this time engaging audiences throughout Southern California with the theme “Art & Science Collide.” Supported by nearly $20 million in grants from Getty, dozens of cultural, scientific and community organizations will present more than 70 exhibitions and an extraordinary spectrum of public programs over the course of five months, all exploring intersections of art and science—past, present and in possible futures. This unprecedented initiative ranges from biotechnology to sustainable agriculture, from ancient cosmologies to Indigenous sci-fi, and from artificial intelligence to environmental justice.
