Economics of the Visual Arts. International Symposium on Cultural Economics in Ljubljana

The symposium Economics of the Visual Arts is intended to bring together experts from the field of cultural economics, to discuss key issues of economics of the visual arts: arts markets and art auctions, copyright in the visual arts, economics of museums, policy and non-profit issues in the visual arts, labor market in the visual arts, etc. The topics will form guidelines for the lectures, performed by renowned experts from the field, coming from all over the world, mostly from countries where cultural economics has gained prominence in the past decades.

Apart from the invited speakers, the symposium will also host two panels, one with presentations of good practices in financing visual arts in Slovenia, and the other with presentations of selected young researchers.

The Faculty of Economics, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia which will host the event will provide a place for the two-day symposium. The Faculty is one of the most renowned economic institutions in the region, hosting number of distinguished home and foreign lecturers, and having both EQUIS and AACSB International Certificates, which puts it among less than 50 economics institutions in the world, which hold both most valuable certificates of educational quality. The Faculty is located 15 minutes from the centre of the town, in a cluster of faculties, and has good capacities of place for lectures and supporting events.

Distinguished partners of the event are Erasmus University Rotterdam, Kecskemét College Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Automation, and sculpture network.

The main organisation part of the project will be the work of the chosen Organisation Commitee and partnership from co-organizer organizations. We must pronounce that this symposium will be the first one of this size on Slovenian level, and that for most of the renowned professors from the field this will be the their first time to present their research in Slovenia. As the issue of financing culture has gained many interest in the past years, we also expect good feedback from participants.
