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.
