Artists Testimonials
I was honored to be part of the 36th Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Collective exhibition. During all the period, communications with the members of the Agora Gallery has been perfect, constant and always supportive. My picture was digitally exhibited and I think that this has been a great opportunity to show my work to a wider audience, that’s why I warmly suggest to other artist to participate to the future competition.

I attended the competition on behalf of Hiromitsu Kato. Thanks to the efforts of the organizers, we had a wonderful experience. Not only was it a valuable experience to be able to exhibit at Agora Gallery, it was also very exciting for me to be able to exchange ideas with artists from all over the world and to hear the evaluations of the people in New York who are connoisseurs of art. I hope that everyone will experience this challenge and sense of accomplishment!

I was super excited to see my work displayed. I was especially fortunate to have my photo used as the “poster photo” for the show and when we approached the gallery on the way to the opening we saw the poster on a wall with other gallery posters. I was not expecting this and I was so excited and proud. When I saw my work in the gallery everything about the show was professional and I couldn’t have been happier to have been selected for the show.

My participation in the Latin American Fine Art Competition at Agora Gallery was one of the most important experiences of my career as an artist. The work that the Agora Gallery team put into our exhibition was extremely professional: starting with their selection of the jury, the communication with the artists, the incredible work they put into our exhibition and the relationship with the press. The reception was especially emotional. I am eternally grateful to Agora and his team for giving Latin American art a home.
