The ICMA will help cover publishing costs of Illuminating Metalwork: Metal, Object, and Image in Medieval Manuscripts, a volume of seventeen essays by a range of emerging and established scholars, which is planned to be published by De Gruyter. The essays will explore the depiction of precious metalwork in manuscript painting, as well as the use or simulation of metallic media, and the larger historical and methodological questions thus raised. The examined manuscript traditions range from Late Antiquity into the sixteenth century, from the Latin West to the Eastern Mediterranean and the Islamic world.

Eclecticism at the Edge: Medieval Art and Architecture at the Crossroads of the Latin, Greek, and Slavic Cultural Spheres is a two-day Symposium organized by M. Alessia Rossi and Alice Isabella Sullivan. It will take place at Princeton University on April 5-6, 2019. In response to the global turn in art history and medieval studies, this event explores the temporal and geographic parameters of the study of medieval art, seeking to challenge the ways in which we think about the artistic production of Eastern Europe, in particular regions of the Balkan Peninsula and the Carpathian Mountains. The ICMA is sponsoring a portion of this symposium.

Interdisciplinary study of the grandest surviving medieval baptismal font canopy in the British Isles—in-situ portions of which are preserved at the parish church of St. Peter Mancroft in Norwich and ex-situ portions of which are held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Scholarly output (in the form of texts, images, and virtual 3D models) will be published in a multi-author volume with Brill and distributed for the creation of public displays in Norwich and in Philadelphia. The ICMA is co-sponsoring an on-site study day at the PMA.

Medieval Art in the Moment: Scholarly Research and Public Discourse, organized by The Material Collective, provides resources to help scholars and the public better understand the narratives that have collected around the Middle Ages in the popular imagination and separate myth from truth. Through linked workshops and freely available information and ideas via the internet, richer connections among scholars and the general public are the goal at this moment that many medieval art scholars have come to feel is a turning point in the field. The ICMA is supporting honoraria for website contributors and a portion of conference costs.
