Call for Papers - The Cost of Art Crime

The theme of the 2026 New Zealand Art Crime Research Trust’s symposium is ‘The Cost of Art Crime’.

We are looking for papers, 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for Q & A, relating directly to the symposium’s theme. Specific areas that we are hoping to find speakers for include:

·      Public Art

·      Artificial Intelligence

·      Indigenous Art

Although we are a New Zealand organisation, we welcome papers that have a global reach. All papers are to be given in person.

Please send a 250-word abstract, 150-word biography, contact details by 1 June 2026 to: Penelope Jackson, Chair of the NZACRT, arthistorian@outlook.co.nz
