ARC 2021 Scholarship Competition

The ARC Scholarship Competition is devoted to supporting students whose works reflect the concept of traditional and contemporary realism. We received entries from students from around the world this past May. The results will be announced on Friday, September 10th, on the ARC Website. $30,000 in scholarship funds to students attending ARC Approved Schools will be awarded.  This year we are introducing the Brian Yoder Memorial Scholarship, which will be an ongoing award in the ARC Scholarship Competition. This award will go to one student as the top prize winner of the competition. Brian Yoder (1961–2021) was a founder of the Art Renewal Center, served as its webmaster for many years and stayed a member of our staff as a technical advisor until his passing. In addition, we will be offering The AAPL Award. The American Artists Professional League (AAPL) is dedicated to the advancement of traditional realism in American fine art, through the promotion of high standards of beauty, integrity and craftsmanship in painting, sculpture and the graphic arts. This $2,000 award amount has been generously donated to the Art Renewal Center by the AAPL.
