Program Officer, Getty Foundation

artsforla on September 29, 2025

The Getty Foundation seeks an experienced arts professional to serve as the full-time Program Officer leading grantmaking for PST ART, the signature Southern California-wide celebration of visual art that has become the largest art event in the United States.

The Foundation and PST ART

The Foundation fulfills Getty’s philanthropic mission by supporting individuals and institutions committed to advancing the greater understanding and preservation of the visual arts in Los Angeles and throughout the world. Through strategic grant initiatives, the Foundation strengthens art history as a global discipline, promotes the interdisciplinary practice of conservation, increases access to museum and archival collections, and develops the next generation of arts professionals.

Getty Foundation grants are a key component of Getty’s PST ART, empowering the region’s nonprofit arts organizations to research, design, and implement groundbreaking exhibitions and programming under a unifying theme. In 2011, the first edition of PST ART, Pacific Standard Time: Art in LA 1945–1980, rewrote the history of modern art from the perspective of the region. In 2017, the second edition, PST: LA/LA, put Latin American and Latinx art in dialogue with Los Angeles. The third, recently completed edition, PST ART: Art & Science Collide, explored the intersections of art and science—past, present, and in the imaginable future. This landmark regional series will now occur every five years beginning in 2030.

The Position

Working closely with the Creative Director of PST ART and the Foundation Associate Director, the Program Officer will be responsible for PST ART grantmaking across the five-year cycle, including funding rounds for exhibition research and implementation, and for programming. The Program Officer will help develop grantmaking strategies; design, implement, and promote calls for proposals; work closely with grantee organizations to offer support and ensure success over the life of the grant; and regularly evaluate and enhance the grantmaking approach over time. The Program Officer may also support other grantmaking activities to be determined based on their skills and experience and on the evolving needs of the Foundation’s grantmaking.

Getty offers paid vacation, every other Friday off, excellent benefits, and a commitment to balancing work and personal life. We work onsite, and the expectation is that the Program Officer will reside within a commutable distance of the Getty Center. However, Getty offers a partial telework policy, for which this position is eligible, based on satisfactory job performance.

Salary: $98,820 – $133,380 Annually

Benefits:

-Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance coverage, starting on date of hire. Getty pays 75%-95% of the premium, depending on the plan selected.
-403(b) Employee Investment retirement plan – with up to 5% Getty Match
-Getty contribution of 6%, on behalf of employee, to 401(a) retirement account
-Educational Assistance and professional development
-Paid Vacation, Sick, and Personal Days

Game Master / Show Manager

artsforla on September 19, 2025

Why escape from a room when you can escape into one? At Hatch Escapes, we believe escape rooms are an art form. That’s why our rooms are scripted by a New York Times bestselling author and built by professional artists–in house. Hatch’s workshop boasts 3D printers, resin printers, and a CNC machine to develop ideas from their inception to playtesting to final implementation.

Our first room, Lab Rat, premiered in 2018 and thrust Hatch onto the global stage right from the start. The award-winning narrative-based gameplay and theatrical design elements set a new standard for what an escape room can be. Our newest award-winning experience, The Ladder, is the world’s first replayable escape experience featuring both scored games and story-driven puzzles. Our immersive show, The Nest, is a groundbreaking immersive theater experience crafted by Scout Expedition Co. and now managed by Hatch Escapes. Did we mention we also have an at home puzzle-based story experience that journeys through the life of Mary Shelley?

Hatch’s accolades include 2 Thea Awards from the Themed Entertainment Association, 3 Golden Lock Awards from Room Escape Artist, an Immie from NoProscenium, and rankings in the Top 100 Escape Rooms in the world by TERPECA every consecutive year since 2018.

Our hosts guide and support guests through the interactive journeys we offer in our historic warehouse located right off the 10 near West Adams. Stewarding our immersive experiences includes the following responsibilities:
Hosting + orienting guests in our building.
Managing games/shows by operating QLab/NodeRed + providing hints/guest support.
Resetting props + scenic elements in between playthroughs.
Troubleshooting tech + creative problem solving.
Answering calls from incoming guests.
Selling our experiences + branded merchandise (with commission of course!)
Communicating vital information to the management and build team in regard to functionality of the experiences + guest enjoyment.
Some light cleaning of customer-facing spaces.

About You:
You’re a positive, affirming soul who enjoys helping people have the time of their lives interacting with their families, friends, and co-workers.
You have consistent weekend availability.
Acting or hosting experience is preferred.
Sales experience is preferred.
QLab, sound board, or backstage experience is a plus, but not required.
Experience in immersive is a huge plus!
Able to take initiative + independently problem solve.

Salary: $19/hourly

Benefits:

We are looking for a commitment of 15-20hrs per week, with more shifts available if preferred.

We pay more than the vast majority of other escape rooms and guarantee at least 4 hours of pay per shift, regardless of the amount of bookings in a given shift — we believe in treating our employees well and hope that our employees pay that favor forward by treating our customers well.

There are a variety of growth opportunities as well as connections to the immersive, escape room, and themed entertainment industry.

Queer owned + managed! Most of our staff are creatives both in and outside of their role at Hatch. Industry folks of all kinds come through our building.

Call for art

artsforla on August 19, 2025

Full link to open call: https://tinyurl.com/j3f262SW

OBJECTIVE
BLUE COLLAR CRIME, as a show, produces work that highlights working class solidarity and seeks out humor, invention, pleasure, and irreverence in the instability of our current moment. The exhibition is borne out of a recognition that corporate interests operate by a different set of rules and profits at the expense of our collective well being. Private industry’s failure to contribute their share of taxes, destruction of the environment, stagnation of wages, monopolization of industry, and so forth. In short, their white collar crime has produced an increasingly precarious world with which our only response can be blue collar crime.

The exhibition BLUE COLLAR CRIME distinguishes itself from the existing connotations of blue-collar crime as less sophisticated or more violent than white collar crime. BLUE COLLAR CRIME learns its lessons as the bastard step-sibling to white collar crime; it is subversive, furtive, unpredictable, conspiratorial, and fugitive. It delights, confuses, and surprises; it is the absurd born from the absurd. Through the exhibition, we define BLUE COLLAR CRIME and a language of possibility from a place of uncertainty.

GUIDELINES
Artists may submit works of any medium that:

-Reimagines blue collar crime (for example, defying hostile architecture, starting an illegal garden in an abandoned plot, disrupting ATM’s, or even memes that uses humor to encourage dissent)

-Represents blue collar joy, and/or class solidarity

-Responds to white collar crime, or the history of white/blue collar crime

-Responds to the categorization of different colored, collared crimes

-Responds to any part of the objective

Artists may submit multiple works of any medium.
All artwork submitted must be ready to hang or install.
Artists outside of Los Angeles should be prepared to cover the cost of shipping.
Artists working in new media, film, or video may be required to use your own equipment for the exhibition.
Extra consideration will be given to pieces that are mischievous, fun, critical.

Salary: Not applicable 

Benefits: Selected artists will be included in a group exhibition titled BLUE COLLAR CRIME debuting in December 2025, presented by a gallery in Los Angeles (details will be provided for artists who are invited to participate in the show).

Education requirements: None
