Exhibition

In a time marked by urgency, distraction, and overstimulation, this exhibition invites a simple act: to slow down. To look more closely. To be fully present—allowing yourself a moment away from the noise and haste of everyday life.

The works gathered here vary widely — from quiet gestures to expressive marks, from abstraction to figuration. They don’t share a single style or theme, but a common offering: a moment of pause. A chance to observe, to feel, and to let perception unfold without rush or expectation.

Agora Gallery proudly presents the 39th Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition, the gallery’s longstanding cornerstone juried summer showcase, now celebrating nearly four decades of championing contemporary art.

This annual exhibition highlights exciting, fresh voices in painting, sculpture, and mixed media. Located in the heart of Chelsea, New York’s vibrant art district, the show offers artists a prime opportunity to share their work with a wider audience.
