[CFP] AI4VA @ ECCV 2026 — Submissions Now Open (Papers due July 24)

[Deblina Bhattacharjee]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that submissions are now OPEN for the 4th AI for Visual Arts Workshop (AI4VA), held in conjunction with ECCV 2026 in Malmö, Sweden, on the afternoon of September 9, 2026. 

Website: https://ai4va-eccv.github.io/

AI4VA explores how computer vision perceives, interprets, models, and generates abstraction across artistic and cultural imagery including paintings, comics, films, typography, sculpture, and heritage artefacts. Building on three successful editions, this edition expands toward generative and agentic creativity i.e., world models, long-form video generation, neural 3D, and agentic workflows for art, film, and storytelling, alongside our enduring focus on perception under abstraction, provenance, and cultural heritage.
