About Us

The Art | Crime Archive (ACA) is a collaborative laboratory, teaching center, and web-based platform devoted to the study of the shadow space where art and crime overlap. The ACA’s online platform was created in 2012 and since its inception has functioned as a participatory archive for a wide range of scholars, artists, students, and community members. The ACA welcomes submissions of media and accompanying short essays on art, crime, and culture. The ACA peer-reviews submissions and only accepts materials that significantly contribute to the broader academic and artistic discourses on creativity and actual criminal behavior. As a general rule, it does not publish submissions related to crime fiction or figurative works.
