The Art Renewal Centers Scholarship Competition is open to full-time
students who are accepted or presently enrolled in an ARC-approved
program. You must submit an original artwork that reflects the principals
espoused by the classical methods of drawing, painting and sculpture,
centering on the importance of the techniques developed and evolved from
the Renaissance through the late 19th century. This competition is not
open to abstract, conceptualist, neo-conceptual or non-traditional
constructions. Commercial design art is also excluded. Illustrative works
will be judged on a case-by-case basis. In addition to your application,
you must submit three letters of recommendation, and a resume detailing
your education, honors received and/or exhibitions in which you have
participated. You must also submit a 250-word essay entitled "My Long-term
Educational and Career Goals."
A list of ARC-approved programs is available on the sponsor's Web site.
