Agora Gallery proudly sponsors the annual Chelsea International Fine Art Competition, a renowned art contest that is juried by prominent museum curators and art experts. It is a great opportunity for the juror-selected artists to gain exposure by exhibiting their work in the famed Chelsea Art Gallery District as well as be part of online and print promotions.

The Chelsea International Fine Art Competition is open to visual artists from anywhere in the world and at all stages in their career. In previous years the juror has selected artists working in painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, mixed media and print.

Entry to The 28th International Fine Art Competition will begin February 12, 2013. Watch this space for more information or join our mailing list.

Our fine art contests are juried by influential voices in the New York art world. The 2013 competition will be juried by Mr. Anthony Haden-Guest, a British writer, reporter, cartoonist, art critic and occasional performer, who lives in New York and London.
