The ARC Scholarship Program Is Now In It's 10th Year The ARC Scholarship Fund Distributes $30,000 in Direct Scholarships to Aid Students at ARC Approved™ Art Academy and Atelier Schools |
|
This year we have continued with $30,000 in scholarships, through the donations of many of our members and through the continued financial support from a sponsor of the classical tradition. We very much appreciate their support for this year's scholarship recipients and look forward to working together in the future to assist more promising students in their education.
For 10 years now, the ARC Scholarship Fund has awarded scholarships to some of the most talented emerging realist artists in the world. From relatively modest beginnings in 2001, the number of entrants and qualifying Ateliers has expanded rapidly. In 2001 there were 13 ARC Approved Ateliers and today we proudly list well over 50. We are proud to have been able to provide almost $170,000 to date, enabling us to support an ever-growing number of students and the institutions they attend. The quality of the work continues to astound us, and many of our past winners have gone on to achieve great things in their careers already. Some have opened their own Ateliers and some have stayed to contribute their expertise at their alma maters, continuing the great academic tradition so important to our philosophy here at ARC.
