Article Summary
The Getty Trust has announced that the fourth edition of its PST Art programme will focus on Los Angeles’s ties to the Pacific Rim and will open across Southern California in September 2030. The research cycle begins immediately, with nonprofit cultural organisations in eight Southern California counties eligible to submit letters of inquiry for funding by 1 June 2026. The 2030 theme will explore transpacific exchange across centuries—from Chinese porcelain in Spanish missions and Japanese visual influences on architecture to contemporary Korean pop culture—and includes a diplomatic dimension, according to creative director Justine Ludwig. PST Art will use a two-stage model (research/planning then implementation); the Getty also plans a PST Art Open House in 2027.
Why It Matters
The Getty's transpacific focus highlights research and exhibition opportunities around Pacific Rim art that may inform Tate's international programming and partnerships.
