Praise for ARC

3 August, 2011

"Finding your website, and reading your philosophy and purpose, and genuinely understanding what you are doing, and why, is a welcome relief and encouragement to a person suffocating in contemporary "culture". Many thanks - and I am joining to support ARC at once!"

- M.B. Adelson

In an attempt to better assist in art education, we thought it important to tie together our work here at ARC with the work being done by so many others around the globe. In this new section, viewers will find a list of ARC recommended exhibitions. This includes important exhibitions being mounted for artists of prior centuries and also those organized for our ARC Approved Artists™ and Living Master's™. In addition, we have posted information pertaining to auction presales and specialized museums dedicated to a single artist.

The Exhibition Page is a continual work in progress, so please feel free to write in and inform us of other exhibitions that may be missing from our list.

Praises to the Chairman

2 August, 2011

"Well Fred your philosophy statement was just too good .

In fact at times, tears could come. It is so close to being perfect that any kind of critique would be nit-picking. As a full time professional artist and realist painter I can't give you thanks enough for what you said in it."

Mark Bradford Strutt

New ARC Living Master™ Adrian Gottlieb

5 August, 2011

We would like to officially welcome Adrian Gottlieb as an ARC Living Master™.

One is immediately struck by the painterly quality of Gottlieb's work. While he has expanded his themes, Gottlieb's passion remains centered on figurative compositions. It is in this genre that Gottlieb excels-especially in infusing the two-dimensional surface with a luminous vitality; a palpable energy that is unique to his work.
