Getty Support for PST ART Rises to $17 Million in Grants
Pacific Standard Time entered a new phase of public visibility in May with the announcement of exhibitions funded by Foundation grants and a permanent commitment by Getty to feature the initiative every five years. From projects that include homing pigeons fitted with pollution-tracking backpacks to gardens spilling out of museum walls, this PST ART will be out in the world more than ever before, activating the 2024 theme: Art & Science Collide. Collaborating partners in Art & Science Collide include civic institutions such as LACMA, the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County, and the San Diego Museum of Art; museums such as The Broad and MOCA; academic institutions including the California Institute of Technology and SCI-Arc; university-affiliated museums and galleries such as the Hammer Museum at UCLA and UCR Arts at UC Riverside; organizations working at the convergence of contemporary art, science, and education including Fathomers and the Beall Center for Art + Technology at UC Irvine; and world-renowned scientific institutions, such as Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Conservation Grants Announced for Eight Modern Buildings by Black Architects
An award-winning swimming pool and pool house in Wichita, Kansas, a vibrant cultural center in Watts, California, and two of the oldest Black Baptist churches in the United States are among $1.2 million in grants announced by Getty to preserve eight historic modern buildings as part of its Conserving Black Modernism initiative. The initiative is a partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation to address the historical omissions of buildings designed by Black architects from the story of Modernism in the United States. Getty’s support is being used for conservation planning, professional training, and storytelling needed to celebrate and preserve buildings designed by Black architects for the future. Conserving Black Modernism is part of the National Trust’s African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, created in 2017 and dedicated to preserving sites of African American activism, achievement, and resilience. Applications for a second round of funding will open this fall.

New Open Access Publication for Conserving Canvas
The international conservation community has a new standard reference work for the conservation of paintings on canvas supports. In 2019, Yale University used a Getty Foundation grant to organize an international conference on the topic for nearly 400 attendees from 20 countries. Conserving Canvas compiles the proceedings of the conference into a new open access digital publication featuring a wide array of papers, posters, and an expansive glossary of terms. Published using Getty’s digital platform Quire, the volume is the most authoritative compilation on the topic in nearly 50 years.

Art That Tickles the Senses
A steady stream of museum exhibitions, digital projects, and publications have been rolling out for The Paper Project, the Foundation’s grant initiative helping curators of prints and drawings engage 21st-century audiences with graphic arts collections. Some of the latest projects are getting creative with the senses, going beyond looking at art to include touch and sound. A story published this summer features curators in the US and the UK talking about two such projects on view now at the Smithsonian Asian Art Museum and the British Library.
