The Getty Foundation seeks a full-time Program Associate to manage the Foundation’s pipeline programs, including the Getty Marrow Undergraduate Internship, and to provide advanced programmatic support to senior Foundation grantmaking staff for a portfolio of other grants enriching the visual arts around the world.

 

Our Mission

 

The Getty Foundation fulfills the philanthropic mission of the Getty Trust by supporting individuals and institutions committed to advancing the greater understanding and preservation of the visual arts in Los Angeles and throughout the world. Through strategic grant initiatives, the Foundation strengthens art history as a global discipline, promotes the interdisciplinary practice of conservation, increases access to museum and archival collections, and develops the next generation of arts professionals.  

 

The Position

 

Reporting to the Foundation Associate Director as part of a dynamic grantmaking team, the Program Associate will be responsible for all aspects of the Foundation’s pipeline programs, which recruit, train, and advance the careers of current and future leaders in the visual arts. The longest-running among these is the Getty Marrow Undergraduate Internship, which places college students in paid internships at Getty and more than 60 other arts organizations across Los Angeles County. The Program Associate will also support other grant programs to be determined based on their skills and experience and on the evolving needs of the Foundation’s grantmaking.
