At ARC, we view our scholarship program as one of the most important. In order for future generations to produce great art, we must not lose the accumulated knowledge of the last several centuries. At our ARC Approved™ atelier schools, we know these methods are still taught by some of the greatest artists alive today and the students who are the recipients of these scholarships will receive the training necessary to create great works of art and carry the knowledge to the next generation. The ARC Awards $30,000 a year to students attending ARC Approved Schools™ to aid with their continued education. Please donate to the ARC Scholarship Fund to help us reach our $30,000 yearly goal.
Due to COVID-19 with such uncertainty and with so many ARC Approved Schools currently not in session, the Art Renewal Center will not be accepting entries to the 2020 ARC Scholarship Competition this May. We know that although there are a number of ARC Approved Schools who have successfully been able to move to an online format or offer other online instruction, many of our smaller schools are not prepared to have their students enter the ARC Scholarship Competition at this time. We feel that a delay in the scholarship competition will result in a more fair competition where all ARC Approved Schools and their students will have the opportunity to participate. We have yet to decide when we will be accepting entries to the 2020 scholarship competition. More information will be announced once we have a clearer picture as to when schools can reopen.
On the other hand, the 15th International ARC Salon Competition is running on schedule. We are currently accepting entries and will continue to do so through August 14th, 2020. To read the prospectus and to enter the International ARC Salon, visit the ARC Salon Entry Pages.
