    Climate action is accelerating in the arts, and Getty is proud to be a part of the effort. Last week we released our PST ART Climate Impact Program Report, offering a deep look into project-based emissions and waste tracking across institutions that participated in PST ART: Art & Science Collide. This week, our colleagues Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC) published the first-ever Stocktake Report, which presents the most comprehensive data to date on the visual arts sector’s progress toward decarbonization, focusing on general operations. Getty’s dataset is the largest for exhibition-making emissions, while GCC’s covers the largest sample of general operations. Together, these reports provide a broad view of collective climate action in the art world. Read GCC's Stocktake Report: https://lnkd.in/eudZUdZV ICYMI!

    Explore the arts of the Mongol era (13th–14th centuries) alongside the Courtauld Institute of Art, which recently wrapped up a traveling seminar supported by Getty's Connective Art Histories initiative. Led by Professor Sussan Babaie, the seminar brought together scholars, conservators, archaeologists, and cultural heritage professionals from Mongolia, and East, West, and Central Asia with leading subject specialists from the U.S. and Europe to study the interconnected histories of objects, artists, and technologies across the Eurasian expanse of the Great Mongol State.

    We’re delighted to announce that the newly remodeled Getty Provenance Index has won Digital Innovation of the Year in this year’s Apollo Awards. The Getty Provenance Index was launched in the 1980s and has become an indispensable resource for curators and researchers. After a 10 year remodel, a newly renovated Getty Provenance Index launched earlier this year utilizing metadata and Linked Open Data to enhance the connections and details researchers can access through the database. “All this information can tell bigger stories about how artworks have moved over time. Our goal is to activate this data in new ways and at scale, allowing for patterns to emerge across the dataset – while making sure people can still find the data they need,” says Sandra van Ginhoven, head of the Getty Provenance Index. Apollo – The International Art Magazine celebrates excellence in the arts world. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gGisA2Es

Getty's volunteer docents, some directly impacted by the wildfires, were ready to come back. “I love the sound of the kids’ laughter as they walk down the Outer Peristyle, challenging each other to find all the hidden birds, insects, and lizards in the frescoes,” says docent Stephanie Horn. 🏺 Read more: https://gty.art/4nQwiLC
