Thank you for interest in the Art Renewal Center and the Living Artists Gallery. The Art Renewal Center was founded in 1999 for the advancement of traditional, classical, humanist art. As a registered 501(c)3, non-profit, educational foundation and one of the Internets leading art resources, the ARC Museum contains nearly 5,100 artists with over 62,000 images. Many of which are high-resolution. Currently the Living Masters Gallery is the third most visited section of the ARC website which is now tracking an astonishing 520,000,000 hits per year from over 5,000,000 visitors. Many of our current Living Masters are now enjoying further success in their careers from the exposure they receive from their gallery on the ARC website. A significant number of artists have reported that they have received major commissions and invitations from prominent metropolitan galleries for representation due to the online exhibit of their work at the Art Renewal Center www.artrenewal.org. ARC is widely known as the place to go for galleries seeking the finest living artists in the world to represent.
In addition to the Living Masters Gallery we will be adding two new sections dedicated to living artists on the Art Renewal Center website. We will be adding a section called ARC Living Artists which will comprise of artists who have a lot of talent and skill, but would not qualify for the title of full ARC Living Master, and a second section for ARC Living Grand Masters which would include the best artists from the Living Masters Gallery.
Any artist who receives placement in any of the ARC artist categories are artists who take great pride in their work and have already achieved at a fully professional level. All artists can elevate their standing on the ARC website as their work matures (subject to ARC judicial review). We at the Art Renewal Center feel that this will not only enable us to help more fine artists with their careers, but also give our visitors a better understanding of the depth and breath of work being produced in the realist fashion.
If you believe you would qualify and are interested in becoming a member of the most prominent realist art foundations and would like to have your work seen by nearly 5.5 million yearly visitors, who are targeted art lovers, collectors, gallery owners and museum officials, ARC is now ready to review your work.
All artists will be judged exclusively on the basis of merit by the ARC board of Judges which will consist of a minimum of four judges at all times and whose expertise and credentials are posted on the ARC website. All applicants will be notified as to whether or not they have qualified as ARC Approved™.
