Artists Reaching Classrooms

The annual Artists Reaching Classrooms (ARC) Student Art Exhibition displays exceptional art in a variety of media by high school students participating in the ARC program.

ARC, a collaboration of the Taft Museum of Art, Art Academy of Cincinnati, and Pendleton Art Center, offers these experiences to high school students with a significant interest in art:

  • Interaction with professional artists
  • Visits to artists' studios
  • Examination of the relationship among artists, art, and society
  • Assessment of their own art in light of working artists' methods and techniques
  • Exploration of the Taft Museum of Art as a resource for artists
  • Participation in a professionally organized art exhibition

The Docents of the Taft Museum of Art and the Art Academy of Cincinnati award scholarships to select ARC students.
