Established at the initiative of the late Professor Suut Kemal Yetkin of Ankara University, the International Congress of Turkish Art held its first meeting in 1959, in the Turkish capital.
It was attended by researchers from eight countries.
The Congress, assembling in a different location every four years, has exhibited not only continuity, but also signs of change. Besides a noticeable increase in the number of participants and subsequently the placing of an upper limit on the number of papers to be delivered, there has also been a substantial broadening with regard to periods and subject-areas addressed.
The organizers ask participants wishing to give lectures to submit abstracts on any for the following topics (grouped under three headings):
I. Turkish Arts in the Empires of the Past
a) Art of the Book
b) Arts of Fires / Ceramics and Glass
c) Art of Metalworking
