Six UCLA arts projects receive Getty Foundation grants

Six arts projects at UCLA have received grants from the Getty Foundation to research and plan exhibitions for the third iteration of "Pacific Standard Time,' which when it opens in 2024 will explore the intersections between the visual arts and science. The six grants, which were announced today, total $745,000 and were awarded to the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture, Art Sci Center, Fowler Museum, Hammer Museum, the Film and Television Archive, which is a division of UCLA Library, and the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. The Getty Foundation has provided $5.38 million to 45 arts institutions across Southern California.

Campus's extensive permanent collections, archives and arts programming bring the world to UCLA and UCLA to the world — providing accessible platforms upon which the civic mission of the university is carried forward. These grants will enable transdisciplinary explorations of topics such as climate change, social justice, indigenous practices, science fiction and contemporary art.
