The Association for Cultural Economics International (ACEI) is a scientific society that includes academic scholars, government officials, foundation officials, managers of arts and cultural organizations and artists, united in their interest in furthering understanding of the economic aspects of the arts and culture in their own countries and throughout the world. It holds international research conferences every two years, sponsors small conferences, workshops, and sessions concerned with cultural economics at meetings of other scientific societies. It also sponsors a journal and other publications.
The Association's elected officers and governing body includes scholars from Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, United Kingdom, and the United States, and its membership is even more diverse.
In August of 1994 the newly reorganized Association held its first international conference in Witten, Germany. Subsequent conferences have been held in Boston, Massachusetts (USA) in May 1996, Barcelona, Spain in June 1998, Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA) in May 2000, Rotterdam, the Netherlands in June 2002, Chicago, Ill. (USA) in June 2004 and Vienna, Austria in July 2006.
Since 1994 the ACEI has co-sponsored several workshops and specialized conferences. In 1997, it co-sponsored the Workshop on the Economics of Artists and Art Policy held in Helsinki, Finland, in August. In 1998, a mini conference on the economics of museums co-sponsored with the Department of Economics at the University of Durham, UK, was held in March. In 1999 the ACEI co-sponsored, with the Japanese Association of Cultural Economists, a follow-up symposium to the 1997 Helsinki workshop. The symposium, Artists' Career Development, Artists' Labour Markets Support and Policies for Artists, was held May 1999, in Tokyo. The ACEI co-sponsored the International Conference on Copyright and Cultural Industries with Erasmus University in September 2000. It is co-sponsoring the Third European Workshop on Applied Cultural Economics, June 14-16, 2007, in Oviedo, Spain (for information contact Professor Roberto Zanola).
