Building Networks

Building Networks is a Getty Foundation grants programme that awards grants to professional organizations that serve art historians, conservators, and museum professionals. Grants primarily support the attendance of colleagues—especially from countries with emerging economies—at large-scale international forums, including annual meetings, conferences, and symposia. The programme aims to connect practitioners from underrepresented countries with international experts to enhance practical and theoretical knowledge and enable knowledge-sharing in their local communities.
