Administrative History
The Getty Center for Education in the Arts, later known as the Getty Education Institute for the Arts (GEI), was one of the
original programs established by the J. Paul Getty Trust, an international cultural and philanthropic organization serving
both general audiences and specialized professionals. The Trust is a not-for-profit institution, educational in purpose and
character, that focuses on the visual arts in all of their dimensions. As of 2014 the Trust supports and oversees four programs:
the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Foundation, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the Getty Research Institute. The Trust
founded the Getty Center for Education in the Arts in 1982 with the mission of improving the quality and status of arts education
in the nation's public schools. The education programs were guided by three premises: the visual arts should be an essential
part of every child's education because knowledge of the arts is a principal means of understanding human experiences and
transmitting cultural values; art education's content must be broadened to include instruction in art production, art history,
art criticism, and aesthetics-an approach known as discipline-based art education (DBAE); and the most effective art education
programs are based on partnerships among teachers, administrators, artists, museums, universities, and parents.
During its first ten years, the Getty Center for Education in the Arts / GEI concentrated on the implementation and dissemination
of DBAE. This was achieved by advocating for the value of arts in education, through the dissemination of print publications
and videotapes, national conferences, and collaborative projects; professional development for school and university personnel,
through in-service programs such as the Los Angeles Institute; theory development to encourage evolution of DBAE, through
seminars, doctoral fellowships, and the commissioning of scholarly publications; curriculum development to support creation
of model instructional materials; and special initiatives to encourage others to champion DBAE. In January 1986 responsibility
for administering arts education grants was transferred from the Trust's Grant Program to the Center for Education in the
Arts. The goal of the arts education grant program was to support the development of model DBAE programs across the country.
In addition to improving the quality of arts education in primary and secondary schools, the GEI also concentrated on the
education of museum visitors. Focus group research and other studies resulted in a number of publications aimed at the museum
community.
Lani Duke was the founding director of the Getty Center for Education in the Arts / GEI and continued to lead the program
for 17 years. Duke resigned in 1998 upon notice of the GEI's imminent dissolution. President Barry Muntiz named Ted Mitchell,
former dean of the UCLA School of Education, as the Getty Trust's Vice President for Education and interim director of the
GEI until the program's dissolution in 1999.

Scope and Content of Collection
The collection primarily contains copies of publications of the Getty Education Institute, formerly known as the Getty Center
for Education in the Arts, dating from 1980s-2003. The materials relate to arts education in schools, especially discipline-based
art education, and include published books, booklets, and video recordings; general unpublished video recordings and booklets;
conference proceedings; classroom planning kits; presentation slides; and ephemera including conference materials and information
bulletins. Some materials were not published by the GEI itself but concern projects undertaken in conjunction with the Institute,
such as the Annenberg Transforming Education Through the Arts Challenge. When the Getty Trust made the decision to dissolve
the GEI in 1998, a number of the grants had terms that ran until the end of fiscal year 2001; summary reports of these projects
were compiled over the following years.
