11-12 July 2009
ARCA Annual Conference
THE STUDY OF ART CRIME
Amelia, Italy

The conference will be held at the Biblioteca Comunale in Piazzale Boccarini, in the heart of Amelia.

The focus of this international conference is the academic and professional study of art crime, and how it can help contemporary law enforcement and art protection. ARCA seeks to encourage scholars and students worldwide to turn their attentions to the understudied field of art crime and cultural property protection.  The more minds working in the field, and the better the relationship between scholars and professionals (from police to security to the art world), the better protected art will be in the future.

ARCA welcomes submissions of papers for presentation at the conference. Papers should be 20 minutes in length, and should be related to the academic study of art crime or the collaboration between scholars and professionals for the prevention of art crime.

Tickets may be reserved by email, with limited numbers available.

A complete schedule with further information on the conference, keynote speakers, and beautiful Amelia, Italy, will be available soon.

The exact conference schedule will be determined this spring, based on the number of speakers and panels.  ARCA Members and presenters may attend the conference free of charge.  A small attendance fee, in the form of a tax-deductible donation to ARCA, is required of attendees who are neither members nor presenters: €100 or €60 for full-time students.

Please send submissions, ticket requests, and inquiries to conference@artcrime.info.
