Call for applications for K-12 teachers 📣 Join us for a 3 day summer institute in Los Angeles, Tuesday July 15–Thursday July 17, 2025. “Local Voices: Remembering Stories of Art, Power and Community” is a professional development opportunity to collaborate with scholars, artists, activists, and archivists to create lessons incorporating oral histories of Black Los Angeles artists, as part of Getty’s African American Art History Initiative (AAAHI). Participants will explore primary source materials including oral histories, photographs, maps, flyers, and artwork—to amplify underrepresented narratives, strengthen historical thinking and literacy skills, and integrate the arts into K-12 education. Applications are due Friday, April 4. Apply here: bit.ly/3XI38UQ

  • A black-and-white photo of artist Maren Hassinger with her work “On Dangerous Ground” takes up most of the flyer. She wears a patterned wrap long sleeve shirt with her arms extended down her sides and palms facing the viewer. She stands behind and amongst her braided write sculptures. She is looking slightly to the right. The top fifth of the flyer is a light grey horizontal color block with the following big, bold white text as reads: “Local Voices: Remembering Stories of Art, Power, and Community: An Oral History and Curriculum Project for K-12 Teachers.” The bottom fifth of the flyer has logos for the following co-sponsors of the summer institute, left to right: UCLA History Geography Project, Getty Research Institute, UCLA Center X, and Getty.
  • There is a rounded square shape with beige fill in the center of the horizontal flyer. There is black text overlaying the shape that reads: “Applications are open for K-12 Teachers. The UCLA History-Geography Project and the Getty Research Institute are collaborating to host a 3 day summer institute for K-12 educators in Summer 2025. Teachers will work with scholars, artists and archivists to learn Black Los Angeles history, and develop lessons centering selected oral history interviews with Black artists in Los Angeles.
