The Art Renewal Center (ARC) is a non-profit educational foundation, dedicated to encouraging rigorous skill-based training in the methods of the old masters. The ARC International Salon is the world’s largest and most prestigious realist art competition. Showcasing artists from across the globe, these pages represent an extraordinary example of humanity’s ability to come together and communicate through art.
