ARC is the only official accreditor of realist art schools, ensuring their programs meet rigorous academic and artistic standards for ARC® approval.

It also hosts the ARC Salon Competition, the world’s largest and most prestigious contest for realist painters, sculptors, and draftsmen, with 11 categories and thousands of entries. Winning works are showcased in a live exhibition.
