Teens Category
Sponsored by PoetsArtists
The ARC recognizes the importance of training, motivating, and supporting the next generation of artists with a passion for traditional techniques in the visual arts, and so, this category is specifically dedicated to students of 13 to 19 years of age. These works by our talented youth did not compete against the works in other categories of the ARC Salon, but in this separate division, specifically for young artists.
