The Renaissance Revival: Art Renewal Center ARC
A Resurgence of Realism in the Visual Arts
Leading the Revival
The Art Renewal Center (ARC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is spearheading the revival of realism in the visual arts. Founded in 1999, ARC aims to preserve and promote traditional artistic techniques and principles.
The Renaissance Revisited
The period known as the Renaissance, which followed the Middle Ages in Europe, witnessed a significant resurgence of realism in art. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo captured the human form and expression with unparalleled precision. ARC believes that the principles of this era can be applied to contemporary art, fostering a greater appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the natural world.
Contemporary Realism
ARC supports artists who embrace traditional techniques such as oil painting and drawing from life. Through its exhibitions, workshops, and online resources, ARC provides a platform for contemporary artists to showcase their realistic works. By fostering a community of skilled and dedicated artists, ARC works to ensure the continued vitality of realism in the visual arts.
