Announced Grants: Keeping it Modern – Getty Conservation Grants
The Getty Foundation developed Keeping It Modern, an international grant initiative that continues the deep commitment to architectural conservation with a focus on important buildings of the twentieth century. Keeping It Modern will support grant projects of outstanding architectural significance that promise to advance conservation practices. Grants focus on the creation of conservation management plans that guide long-term maintenance and conservation policies, the thorough investigation of building conditions, and the testing and analysis of modern materials. In select cases, grants may support implementation projects that have the potential to serve as models for the conservation of other 20th century buildings. Below is a list of 2016 grants awarded:
