Realist artists and art lovers alike look forward to the annual International Art Renewal Center (ARC) Salon Competition. Twenty-five years ago, American art collector Frederick Ross founded the nonprofit ARC to support traditional realist artists and realist art education around the world and to acquire notable realist artworks.

The International ARC Salon Competition is an opportunity for artists to showcase their skills, get the recognition they deserve, and gain commissions. It’s also a chance, during a time when modern and abstract art predominates, to promote and safeguard the realist art tradition for future generations.
