ARCA will host its 2017 interdisciplinary art crime conference the weekend of June 23rd through June 25th. Known as The Amelia Conference, the association's weekend-long event aims to facilitate a critical appraisal of art crimes and the protection of art and cultural heritage. The event brings together researchers and academics, police, and members from many of the allied professions in the art world, who come together to discuss issues of common concern.
This conference is held annually in the historic city of Amelia, in the heart of Italy's Umbria region. Amelia also plays host to ARCA's Postgraduate Certificate Program in Art Crime and Cultural Heritage Protection and for the first time, the joint ARCA-HARP Provenance Training course, “Provenance and the challenges of recovering looted assets.”
ARCA welcomes speaking proposals from individuals in relevant fields, including law, criminal justice, security, art history, conservation, archaeology, or museum security and risk management. We invite individuals interested in presenting to submit their topic of choice along with a presentation title, a concise 250 word abstract, a brief professional biography and a recent CV to the conference organizers at:
italy.conference [at]artcrimeresearch.org
italy.conference [at]artcrimeresearch.org
Accepted presenters will be asked to limit their presentations to 15-20 minutes, and will be grouped together in panels organized thematically, to allow time for brief questions from the audience at the conclusion of each panel session.
Registration
For more details on this event please watch the conference information page on the ARCA website where you can register and where a list of speakers will appear March 30, 2017.
We hope to see many of you in Amelia in June!
