New ARC Associate Living Master Published on 17 September, 2021

ARC is pleased to welcome Benjamin Orozco Lopez as an ARC Associate Living Master.

Benjamín Orozco López was inclined towards art since his childhood, in which he was always surrounded by the instruments of drawing and painting. His father, a master artist, began teaching him drawing and painting step by step. At the age of 15, eager to learn, he committed himself to carrying out each and every one of the tasks that his father imposed on him. He soon found himself involved in the fascinating world of composition, anatomy, successful handling of different materials, graphic narrative, sequential art, life drawing, etc.

Southern Atelier Now Accepting Applications for the Miano Apprenticeship Program Published on 16 September, 2021

The Southern Atelier is proud to present their apprenticeship program under the direction of ARC Associate Living Master Charles Miano, designed as a 4-level program with a completely unique 2-fold course of study. In addition to traditional long term projects such as casts, master copies, portraits and figurative works, the apprenticeship curriculum highlights rigorous short, intermediate and long practice from the live model. This balanced approach develops hand eye coordination quickly and improves an artist's ability to see and capture life and movement dramatically while at the same time learning to finish works of art to the highest standards of excellence.

Spaces are limited to provide one-on-one instruction and detailed attention, so students can thrive in their study no matter their entry level. Throughout the apprenticeship program, students may also attend workshops at Southern Atelier given by visiting master artists from around the world.

The Miano Apprenticeship is broken into trimester terms, for $3800 per term. Apprentices may benefit from having their own individual work area, teaching opportunities, public gallery representation, and a key to the Atelier studio, located in luminous Sarasota, Florida.
