Same Getty, new look. Let us re-introduce ourselves.
We’re an arts organization based in Los Angeles, working globally, with the mission to advance art and make it accessible to all.
Inspired by our architecture, collection, and four core programs, the new logo is an ode to Getty’s story and points to what’s next.
Getty. All for art.

Cat's outta the bag! The votes are in!
Last month we asked for name suggestions for a new face in Getty's galleries, and boy did you deliver.
Welcome to the galleries, Purrquoise! (Everybody say *meow!*)
🐾 This porcelain cat was made in the 1700s in China for export to Europe (where it received its glowing eyes and gilded stool), and was once owned by Madame de Pompadour—the official chief mistress of King Louis XV from 1745 to 1751.

Can you guess whose mythological birth is depicted here?
Some clues:
🔎 Son of Jupiter and Semele
🔎 Raised by nymphs and satyrs
🔎 Originally god of fertility, but known for wine
.
.
.
If you guessed, Bacchus (or Dionysus, as known in Greek myth), you’re correct!

Take a closer look. 👁️
In The System of Shannon Discontent 1, Reggie Burrows Hodges examines the underlying dynamics of violence and theatricality embedded in the dramatic narrative of 17th-century Italian painter Orazio Gentileschi's Danaë and the Shower of Gold.
Hodges's 2023 work emphasizes atmosphere, ambiguity, and psychological presence over detailed realism. What do you think he might be saying through this reinterpretation?
What parallels or contrasts stand out to you? What themes, emotions, or ideas emerge when you see the paintings side by side? We'd love to hear your observations in the comments. 💭⬇️

What does a conservator do, exactly? 🧐
Sometimes, they get to work on paintings like this!
Tomorrow is Ask a Conservator Day, so drop your conservation queries in the comments and stay tuned for responses tomorrow from Getty conservators. 💬

Gatherings at this time of year are all about food and family.
For @bricialopez, author and chef at Los Angeles institution @laguelaguetza (founded by her family 1994), feeding folks with generations-old recipes is more than a job—it's a passion: "Oaxacans have a special connection to food. We’re so connected to our land that we’re also connected to what we eat. And there’s nothing more celebratory when it comes to food in Oaxaca than mole."
🗓️ López will present a talk and tasting featuring mole, chocolate, mezcal, and more (yum!) at Getty on November 15.
🇲🇽 Ahead of the event, we talked with her about how food can preserve the memories of a person, a family, and even an entire culture—link in bio for our chat and more on the event. El artículo también está disponible para leer en español.

Ofrendas are ephemeral art.
Today marks the start of Dia de los Muertos, a time to pay respects to friends and family who have passed.
Hear artists Ofelia Esparza and her daughter, Rosanna Esparza Ahrens, reflect on the ofrenda as both cultural obligation and art: a bridge between the living and the dead, and between the stories of generations past and those yet to come.
Head to the link in our bio to watch the full piece, including their approaches to design, why the process is also part of the meaning, and what it means to remember.
The Getty Conservation Institute made this film as part of the Artists Dialogues series to preserve contemporary art in Los Angeles by recording local artists' approaches, materials, and their thoughts on its conservation.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done to get a great shot? 🤔 Photographer Flor Garduño told us she snuck into this church and climbed onto the roof to snap this pic.
During her time in art school, she used to drive from town to town in her Volkswagen, photographing historic Mexican churches. She was fascinated by the craftsmanship of sacristies and their artifacts, which Mexico’s Indigenous people created during the colonial period.
To learn more about Garduño and the other photographers featured in Instante/revelación: Moments in Mexican Photography, check out our new photo essay at the link in our bio. See below for Español ⬇️

Celebrate Día de los Muertos through two exhibitions that reflect the communities, memories, and creative connections that shape Los Angeles.
📸 At The Huntington, “Laura Aguilar: Day of the Dead” captures Día de los Muertos celebrations and the friends, families, and artists who formed her creative community.
📸 At Getty, “Every Minute Is History: Five Views of Los Angeles” brings together photographs by Ricardo Valverde, Laura Aguilar, Reynaldo Rivera, George Rodriguez, and Patssi Valdez, offering distinct perspectives on Chicano/a life and culture in Los Angeles.
Experience both exhibitions, then join us for two public programs: “Learning from Laura Aguilar” at Getty and online on Nov. 8, and “Acts of Remembrance: Laura Aguilar’s Day of the Dead Photographs” at The Huntington on Nov. 15. Both programs are free with registration.
