It's Time to Pre Order Your ARC Salon Catalog For This Year's Salon

"...Once again the quality of work submitted to this year's competition was overwhelming....

Since it's inception 6 years ago, the ARC Salon™ has evolved considerably. One of the most significant changes has been in the overall quality of the work submitted, which continues to impress us anew each year and makes the finalist selection process ever more challenging. Last year the finalists were narrowed down to 204 works and this year we struggled even to get the number down to the 368 that were eventually submitted to the judges for award consideration. We then removed an additional 82 images that did not receive any votes, giving you the 286 images displayed here.

For the first time this year, we added an animal category which produced 31 finalists from an enthusiastic and talented new pool of artists. If there was ever a year to purchase a catalogue, this would be it. With over 80 more works than previous years, this expanded catalogue will display over 300 full-color images from some of the best realist artists in the world."

Paul McCormack, Executive Director of Programs

This year's Best in Show with an honorarium of $10,000 has been awarded to Julio Reyes of the United States for his painting, Empire.

Juliette Aristides Classical Painting AtelierARC Master and instructor Juliette Aristides' second book, Classical Painting Atelier , a Contemporary Guide to Traditional Studio Practice", is the book Western Culture has been waiting for."
-excerpt from the Book Review by Sherry Ross.

In conjunction with her first book, Classical Drawing Atelier, Ms. Aristides has created not only a major work of technical knowledge, historical enlightenment and visual beauty, but has also made a definitive case in proving that realism in art, when used to communicate shared human experience and beauty, is the highest form of visual art. Aristides' Introduction to Classical Painting Atelier will make even die-hard modernists and devotees of abstract art stop and think. Her book itself is powerful enough to change minds.....
