Entries to our next ARC Scholarship Competition will be received from May 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021 where the Art Renewal Center will once again give out $30,000 in scholarships to students attending ARC Approved Schools.

Scholarship applications will be received through our online entry system throughout the month of May. Entry is free.

The full prospectus will become available on May 1. Materials required to enter include: images of a minimum of 10 works of art, a biography, CV, a 250 word essay about why atelier training is important to the applicant and future career goals, and 3 letters of recommendation (one should be from a current or recent art instructor who the applicant has studied with.)
