How to Stay Connected with Getty, Shop, and Get in Touch
Updated
You can stay connected with Getty in four practical ways: sign up for e-newsletters, browse the Getty Shop for art-inspired books, jewelry, and gifts, check job and volunteer openings, and use the contact page to ask questions or give feedback. All four entry points are listed in the "Stay Connected" section of getty.edu's homepage, so you can start from the site's main navigation without needing an account.
Subscribe to Getty E-Newsletters
Getty's homepage invites visitors to "Keep current about all things Getty" through e-newsletter sign-up. This is the lowest-effort way to hear about exhibitions, news, and events.
What to expect: The sign-up is presented as a way to stay current on Getty news. The available page evidence does not specify how often newsletters are sent or whether you can choose topics, so treat frequency and content options as something to confirm on the sign-up form itself.
Steps:
- Go to getty.edu.
- Find the "Stay Connected" area near the bottom of the homepage.
- Follow the e-newsletter sign-up link.
- Enter your email address and submit the form.
- Check your inbox for a confirmation message, if one is required.
Common snag: If no confirmation email arrives, check spam or promotions folders before trying again.
Shop Getty's Art-Inspired Store
The Getty Shop is described on the homepage as a place to "Browse art-inspired books, jewelry, and other gifts" and to "See our latest finds." It is the right entry point if you want a gift tied to the collection or a book related to current exhibitions.
What the page evidence supports: The shop's categories include books, jewelry, and gifts. The homepage does not list prices, shipping terms, or whether checkout requires an account, so check those details on the shop pages before buying.
Steps:
- From getty.edu, locate the "Shop" link in the Stay Connected area.
- Browse by category (books, jewelry, gifts) or look for "latest finds."
- Open a product page to review price, availability, and shipping information.
- Complete checkout using the options the shop provides.
Tip: If you are shopping for someone interested in a specific exhibition, such as Reggie Burrows Hodges: A Theater of Passions, check whether the shop carries related catalogues or items before defaulting to a generic gift.
Find Jobs and Volunteer Opportunities
Getty's homepage includes a "Work with Us" entry that says "Find a job or volunteer your time" and links to "See all opportunities." This is the place to start for employment or volunteering, whether in Los Angeles or in support of Getty's research and conservation work worldwide.
Steps:
- Go to the "Work with Us" section on getty.edu.
- Select "See all opportunities."
- Filter or scan listings for staff roles or volunteer positions.
- Follow the application instructions on each listing.
What to prepare: The page evidence does not detail application requirements, so read each posting carefully for deadlines, location, and materials. Note that Getty operates two Los Angeles sites, the Getty Center and the Getty Villa Museum, so confirm which location a role relates to.
Contact Getty with Questions or Feedback
The "Contact Us" entry on the homepage is described as the way to "Ask questions or give feedback." Use it for general inquiries rather than for urgent matters.
Steps:
- From getty.edu, open the "Contact Us" link.
- Choose the topic that matches your question, if options are offered.
- Write a clear message: what you are asking about, any relevant page or program name, and how to reach you.
- Submit and watch for a reply.
Common snag: Vague messages slow down routing. Mentioning the specific area, such as the shop, a museum visit, or a research resource, helps your note reach the right team.
