CIMAM – the International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art – is calling for applications for their travel grants to support the attendance of modern and contemporary art curators, directors, and museum professionals at CIMAM’s 2024 Annual Conference that will be held in Los Angeles from 6 to 8 December 2024.

This three-day event is hosted by The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and the Hammer Museum at UCLA, with the Getty Foundation as its major supporter.
