ByLaws:
The Association of Representational Artists is a group of artists and art supporters working together in the support of representational art.
Whether the artist's style is one of "impressionism or anything beyond that of super realism, there will be no question in the viewer's mind what the subject is."
The A.R.A. requires of its members "honesty", "professionalism", and a high standard of "ethics". Its' goal is to protect the integrity of the art community by making sure that:
(a) work shown is framed to a professional standard using conservation standard quality materials;
(b) The copyright of each work offered for sale rightfully belongs to the artist showing it.
(c) If the picture is a reproduction, it will be hand signed and numbered and not produced beyond the number of specified by the artist at the time of printing.
