Every year, the International Conference on Art Studies brings together a vibrant community of people passionate about exploring and shaping the role of art in society—through creative expression, critical inquiry, and cross-disciplinary dialogue. It is a space where scholars, artists, curators, and cultural practitioners connect to exchange ideas, share experiences, and learn from one another.

Over time, the conference has grown into a truly global gathering, welcoming participants from across continents. Whether you attend in person or virtually, you’ll engage with thought-provoking keynote talks, interactive workshops, and dynamic panel discussions that continue to inspire long after the sessions end. Many participants also enjoy discovering the host cities through curated cultural tours, making the event both intellectually enriching and personally memorable.

At its core, the International Conference on Art Studies is more than an academic meeting—it is an international forum dedicated to advancing the study and appreciation of art in all its forms. Hosted in prestigious cultural hubs such as Brussels and Milan, the conference sparks fresh perspectives, challenges established interpretations, and fosters meaningful conversations about art in today’s ever-changing world. Many past presenters have also had their research published in respected journals, underscoring the lasting impact and academic credibility of the event.
