VISART VIII – Extended Deadline 29th June – ECCV 2026 workshop

June 23rd, 2026 Daniela Lopez de Luise
Vision for Art and Culture (VISART) VIII
****************************************************************
8th Workshop on Computer VISion for ART and Culture
In conjunction with the 2026 European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV),
Malmö, Sweden
****************************************************************
IMPORTANT DATES
Full & Extended Abstract Paper Submission: June 24th 2026 
Extended Deadline for Full & Extended Abstract Paper Submission: June 29th 2026 
Notification of Acceptance: August 5th 2026
Camera-Ready Paper Due: August 15th 2026
Workshop: September 8th/9th 2026
****************************************************************
Following the success of previous editions of the Workshop on VISion for ART (2012, ’14, ’16, ’18, ’20, ’22, ’24), we present VISART VIII. VISART continues as a forum for the presentation and publication of Computer Vision techniques for the understanding of art and culture. The growth of generative art, large-scale digitisation, and digitally born artworks underscores the importance of research at the intersection of Computer Vision and Art. This includes methods for reasoning about visual material, connecting vision and language, and structuring data across art and cultural heritage.
As with the prior edition, VISART VIII offers two tracks:
1. Computer Vision for Art & Culture – technical work (standard ECCV submission, 14 page excluding references, appearing in proceedings)
2. Uses and Reflection of Computer Vision for Art (Extended abstract, 4 page, excluding references, NOT appearing in proceedings)
The recent explosion in the digitisation of artworks highlights the concrete importance of application in the overlap between CV and art; such as the automatic indexing of databases of paintings and drawings, or automatic tools for the analysis of cultural heritage. Such an encounter, however, also opens the door both to a wider computational understanding of the image beyond photo-geometry, and to a deeper critical engagement with how images are mediated, understood or produced by CV techniques in the `Age of Image-Machines' (T. J. Clark). Submissions to our first track should consist of technical papers consistent with ECCV style; whereas, our second track encourages critical essays or extended abstracts from art historians, artists, cultural historians, media theorists and computer scientists.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers in the fields of computer vision and the digital humanities with art and cultural historians and artists, to promote interdisciplinary collaborations, and to expose the hybrid community to cutting-edge techniques and open problems on both sides of this fascinating area of study.
This workshop in conjunction with ECCV 2026, calls for high-quality, previously unpublished, works. Submissions for both tracks should conform to the ECCV 2026 proceedings style and will be double-blind peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers. However, extended abstracts will not appear in the conference proceedings. Papers must be submitted online through the OpenReview submission system at: https://openreview.net/group?id=thecvf.com/ECCV/2026/Workshop/VISART#tab-your-consoles
TOPICS include but are not limited to:
– Art History and CV 
– Cultural heritage and CV
– Multimodality and Visual Culture 
– Generative art practices
– Video, film and moving image analysis
– Critical perspectives on computer vision and art
– Interactive XR/Interfaces for GLAMs
– Search and Discover in arts & culture
– Datasets and benchmarks for arts & culture
– Vision Language models for arts & culture
– 3D reconstruction in heritage and archaeology
– Human in the loop for cultural analysis
