Getty Global Art & Sustainability Fellows Program

IPI is honored to be one of the inaugural grant recipients for the new Getty Global Art & Sustainability Fellows Program. This new initiative supports the development of early-career professionals and visual artists committed to enhancing sustainability and climate resiliency in the arts and cultural heritage. IPI’s grant will support three, two-year Fellowships over the next 5 years. The overarching aim of IPI’s Fellowship Program is to equip a new generation of professionals with the skills, knowledge, and language needed to develop and advocate for sustainable preservation practices in heritage organizations. Emily Bernal, IPI’s Sustainable Preservation Specialist, was awarded the first Fellowship. Her focus is on identifying sustainable preservation environmental management success stories and developing and delivering ways to disseminate the valuable lessons learned to a new audience of collections care and facilities professionals. IPI will initiate the recruitment process for its second Fellow at the beginning of calendar year 2026.
