Alternative Projections is part of Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980.

Pacific Standard Time is an initiative of the Getty. The presenting sponsor is Bank of America.

Our website alternativeprojections.com contains details on the screening series, oral histories, articles, and a searchable database with individuals, films, organizations, and exhibitions, and archival content. This is the first database of its kind and will give scholars and the public a much richer understanding of art production in Los Angeles for years to come.

Primary funding for Alternative Projections was provided by the Getty Foundation, with additional support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. This screening series is supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission; the Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles; and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
