The Art Renewal Center, a nonprofit educational foundation dedicated to the renewal of traditional training techniques in the visual arts is currently accepting entries for its 11th annual competition. Artists have a deadline of Jan. 15, 2015, to submit their entries. Winners will be announced in the spring.
The first international ARC Salon occurred in 2004, and since then the number of entries and the quality of work submitted has increased dramatically; no doubt due to the growing interest and appreciation in contemporary paintings utilizing realism and traditional painting techniques.
For the first time, ARC has teamed up with Rehs Contemporary Galleries Inc., New York. The gallery will select a group of approximately 15 finalists who will be asked to supply the gallery with additional images. From those finalists, the gallery will choose four to six artists for a group show to be held at its gallery on 57th Street either late 2015 or early 2016.
