Artists Testimonials

I was so thrilled to be able to attend the exhibition opening in person and meet many of the talented artists who were also selected for the exhibition. What a wonderful evening! Everyone working behind the scenes at Agora and NYAC were kind and professional, making the entire experience absolutely superb!

Heidi Margocsy

United States, Selected Artist, 6th Chelsea International Photography Competition

What a fantastic experience showing at Agora Gallery during the 39th Chelsea International Fine Art Competition. The work shown was diverse yet cohesive and thought provoking; curated with care and precision by a kind, thoughtful, energetic and engaging staff. Great experience with a large turnout for the opening

Jay Hatfield

United States, Selected Artist, 39th Chelsea International Fine Art Competition

[Support] was a very important thing for me because if you are thousands of kilometers away, it’s important that your questions are answered quickly and you always have the feeling of someone there to help you, and it was in every communication with the company. I felt safe in the contact with the staff.

Thomas Schlereth

Germany, Selected Artist, 5th Chelsea International Photography Competition

As an artist, I’ve been trying to find an avenue where I can expand my voice. Because art is not just creating works of art for sales, it’s to relay a message to the people. And I decided to [join] this platform as an avenue for me to send my message. And I’m very happy with Agora Gallery and the Chelsea International [Fine] Art Competition putting all this together for us artists.
