About
Every five years, Getty and cultural partners across Southern California stage PST ART, a region-wide art experience built around one powerful theme:
- Art in L.A., 1945–1980 (2011-2012), an upending of art history through the stories of Southern California’s innovative artists, curators, and museums.
- LA / LA (2017–2018), the largest ever exploration of Latin American art and Latino artists, creating new knowledge and exchange between LA and Latin America.
- Art & Science Collide (2024–2025), an exploration of the surprising ways art and science have interacted from ancient times to present day.
- PST ART 2030 (2030–2031), an exploration of artistic and cultural exchange between Los Angeles and the Pacific Rim.
In aggregate, PST ART has instigated more than 200 exhibitions, 120 publications, and thousands of public programs and performances.
