The Getty Foundation released an Economic Impact Analysis report for Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980 prepared by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC). Pacific Standard Time was a collaboration of over 60 cultural institutions culminating in a series of linked exhibitions and programs across Southern California between October 2011 and March 2012.

In addition to its lasting scholarly impact, Pacific Standard Time contributed significantly to the local and regional economies through the expenditures of participating partners and visitors. In sum, the Getty’s initiative generated considerable economic activity in the Southern California region, adding $280.5 million in economic output and supporting 2,490 jobs with total labor income of $101.3 million.
