The Getty Research Institute Scholars Program invites interested scholars and arts professionals to submit proposals on the topic of Provenance for 2026–27. We’re pleased to announce that applications for this unique funding opportunity are now open.
In recent years, the study of provenance has expanded in urgency and scope, in line with the art historical turn toward the lives of objects, and also in response to evolving debates regarding the ownership of art. The Getty Scholars Program invites innovative proposals for projects that explore provenance and adjacent research areas, such as the history of collecting, the study of the art market, and broader explorations around the ownership of art objects.
Deadline for applications for the 2026–27 academic year is October 1, 2025.
