In addition to the open call for applications relating to projects utilizing any specific area of the GRI's collections, several focused grants will be awarded in the following areas of study:

  • Research related to the modern commercial art market, Los Angeles modern architecture, or design.
  • Research in the area of 18th-century German art as it relates to the religious, philosophical, and aesthetic contextualization of the Romantic movement.
  • Research within the GRI's photo archive, a collection of two million photographs of works of art and architecture providing opportunities for original pictorial research in the fine arts, including the history of photography. 
  • Research that utilizes the Conservation Collection, specialized research materials related to the preservation and conservation of material cultural heritage.
