In 1999, art collector Frederick Ross founded United States-based nonprofit organization the Art Renewal Center (ARC) to support traditional realist artists and realist art education around the world and to acquire notable realist artworks.
The ARC recently announced the semifinalists of its “17th International ARC Salon Competition,” from more than 5,000 entries from 87 countries.
From those semifinalists, we’ve compiled a selection of American artists’ artworks celebrating our great country, its spirit, culture, and traditions.
The Art Renewal Center will announce the finalists of the “17th International ARC Salon Competition” on Nov. 20. The competition winners will be announced on Jan. 7, 2025. To find out more, visit ArtRenewal.org
