  • Letter to ARC

    by Fred Ross, ARC Chairman

    Stephen,

    I receive so many letters, that I can only answer perhaps one in ten, and then only more briefly than I would like.

    Thank you for all your positive comments, and for being in the camp of those who are capable of seeing the truth regardless how large the crowd spewing lies.

    You will be pleased to know that the ARC Philosophy is read by over 150,000 art loving people per year, and growing by over 20% this year. The ARC website has become the most popular internet museum on earth, receiving over 450,000,000 hits per year from more visitors than any museum in America except perhaps the Metropolitan which comes very close.

    In only five years we are well on our way to facilitating a major cultural shift, and we can use all the help we can get from friends like you.

    I agree pretty much with most of what you have said.

    [...] I hope you will be pleased if we publish part of your letter, as we feel it would be helpful to others as well.

    Best wishes, and best of luck in your work,

    Fred Ross
    Chairman,
    Art Renewal Center, 100 Markley Street, Port Reading, NJ 07064
