The Foundation for the Art Renewal Center, a 501(c)3) is a private, not-for-profit educational foundation, a charity founded in 1999 to present responsible opposing views to the modernist art establishment. The ARC website, www.artrenewal.org has become internationally famous as a hub for artists, educators, gallery owners, curators and art lovers and a huge educational resource.
ARC supports traditional realism and technical mastery in the visual arts. The ARC Atelier Section and Map allows aspiring artists and art students the opportunity to select a true classical atelier which has achieved ARC approval. Each Atelier has it's own section with detailed information about the schools listed as ARC Approved™. The Living Masters™ Gallery provides exposure to contemporary realists with masterly skills and shows us that there are those dedicated to the realistic traditions who are fast at work in the 21st century.
