Certificates of Recognition, Signatory Members, Fellows Life Members,
A.G.R.A. acknowledges these people who enrich the art community.
Motivation:- AGRA believes that the purpose of a completed painting is to be viewed so that the artist's expression can be shared with a viewer. We also believe that competition should never become the main purpose of producing our best. Rather a painting should be a combination of skill, inspiration and a worthwhile quest. We are always happy to congratulate or recognise artists for work that is well done and for that reason we are pleased to give our various awards for both paintings and service.

Recognition is
