2018 ARA Boston Figure Painting Competition

At ARA Boston, an ARC approved Atelier, their academic training allows students to render what they see to a great degree of truth. ARA Boston is an enthusiastic exponent of the atelier's method and techniques. 2017 was a year of upheaval. A renewed political awareness led to massive protests not seen in decades.  The 2018 Boston Figure Painting Competition seeks to join that conversation.
   
This year's pose will be taken directly from a nineteenth century work by an academic master. It will be up to the competitors to give the pose a new context that will alter its original meaning and make it relevant to a contemporary audience.
   
Deadline for application is April 15th.
    
The competition runs from July 30th to August 4th, 2018.
