ADC Fine Art proudly sponsors ART COMES ALIVE (ACA), an international, juried fine-art competition and exhibit that awards the best emerging and professional artists.

Known as the “Academy Awards for Art,” ACA is embarking on its 13th year of helping artists get their work in front of art-industry professionals such as interior designers, art galleries, private art collectors, and corporate collections. Each year the art competition gets bigger and better, and this year over $400,000 in awards will be given to artists through gallery contracts, purchase awards, publishing contracts, and more!
