Call for Papers and 6th Annual ARCA Interdisciplinary Art Crime Conference, June 28-29, 2014

Posted by Nicholas O'Donnell on March 31, 2014 at 2:41 AM

It was my great privilege last year to speak at the 5th Annual Art Crime Conference, hosted by the Association for Research into Crimes Against Art (ARCA). The conference, in Amelia, Italy, annually draws experts in varied fields of law, cultural property, archaeology, law enforcement, and more. It is also held in one of the most spectacular venues I have ever seen, a rocky outcropping , with a medieval Italian city on top of a Roman-era settlement (complete with a cistern at the top of the hill).

This year's conference (http://www.artcrimeresearch.org/interdisciplinary-art-crime-conference/) will be June 28-29, 2014, and the call for papers is also drawing to a close.

I’m not sure yet whether I’ll make it this year, but anyone interested and in the neighborhood (or even if not) should most certainly attend. Last year’s schedule can be found at http://art-crime.blogspot.com/2013/05/speakers-list-released-for-arcas-5th.html, to give a sense of the discourse. Make sure to take advantage of this special gathering if you can.

ARCA welcomes speaking proposals from individuals in relevant fields, including law, criminal justice, security, art history, conservation, archaeology, or museum management. We invite individuals interested in presenting to submit their topic of choice along with a concise 200 word abstract and current resume or CV to us at: italy.conference@artcrimeresearch.org
