The Getty Foundation announced that it has awarded $2.6 million for 12 grants to libraries, museums, and universities across the United States through its Black Visual Arts Archives program. Designed to increase access to archival collections across the country that hold vital information about work created by Black artists, the multi-year program provides archivists with wider capacity to organize, catalogue, and digitize materials.
A major goal of the program is to increase visibility of archives to the public through exhibitions, community programming, and digital projects.
