The Association for Art History’s 53rd Annual Conference will be hosted in partnership with the department of Art History and Visual Culture at the University of Exeter.
The conference will take place at the University of Exeter, 7-9 April 2027.
Last year’s Annual Conference attracted almost 1000 attendees. It is popular with academics, curators, practitioners, PhD students, early-career researchers, and anyone engaged in art history research. Members of the Association get reduced conference rates, but non-members are welcome to attend and propose sessions and papers. Convenors are limited to convening one session.
The Association for Art History’s Annual Conference brings together international research and critical debate about art history and visual culture.
A key annual event, the conference is an opportunity to keep up to date with new research, hear leading keynotes, broaden networks and exchange ideas. If you would like to submit a proposal, please see below.
