Art Inc. Art Awards is the brain child of Renu Rana, director of the Art inc. The journey of this award started over a decade ago when Renu who was in her 40`s decided to go back to school and renew her passion for art.

Renu has always been passionate about recognizing true talent, regardless for the artists background. in her journey in the last 10 years she has come across artists who have used lunch money to buy paints, those who`ve lived in their studios and those who`ve ghost painted for the rich to make ends meet.

And through it all, she realized that all these great artists, for all their talent, where not being given any recognition. with this in mind, the awards are divided into 3 categories, painting, sculpture and photography and each category has a seasoned master and young artist who were selected by a jury of eminent artists like Arpana Caur, Prof. Biman Das, Prof. Niren Sengupta, and Hemant Khandelwal.

The “Lifetime Achievement Award” goes to Ms. Saroj Jain in the sculpture category ; Mr. Umesh Verma in the painting category; Mr. O.P. Sharma in the photography and Dr. Daljeet in the art historian Category.

Dr. Karan Singh, former member of Rajya Sabha, former President of ICCR, former chancellor of JNU and has held many prestigious posts, has agreed to be the chief guest for the ceremony.
