After being rescued from closure in 2023, AGRA now operates nationwide with a glossy hardcopy magazine - the AGRA Magazine - sent out to all members nationally and internationally. The Guild was saved by directors nationwide in Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia and Tasmania led by Victorian artist Lulu Clifton-Evans. The other directors include: Grace Paleg of New South Wales, Christine Broersen of Shepparton; Fiona Bilbrough of Korumburra; Jan Pittman of Western Australia; Catriona Maclaine of Tasmania;  and John Baker and Patricia Walker of Melbourne.

The exhibition features work by artists throughout Victoria and New South Wales. The latest issue of the AGRA Magazine has stories on Australian Tonalism, Clarice Beckett and still life through the centuries. Visit www.agra.org.au to join and receive the magazines.

This exhibition is accompanied by a Cato Gallery show featuring work by David Jack.
