About

Agora Gallery is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11am to 6pm, making it a reliable stop during a Chelsea art walk. Founded in 1984 by artist Miki Stiles, it was built on the principle of helping emerging artists advance their careers. Today, gallery director Angela Di Bello brings decades of experience, having placed work with Fortune 500 companies and collectors.

"I popped into this gallery during a rainy afternoon and didn't regret it; the artwork was filled with emotion and loveliness."

The space occupies two floors on 25th Street, showcasing national and international artists. It's upscale and quiet, attracting a 30s to 50s crowd. Regulars know the gallery publishes ARTisSpectrum Magazine and sponsors ARTmine, a global art resource. A rainy-day visit can be a quiet escape from the city's bustle.

A great escape from the city's noise and activity. I popped into this gallery during a rainy afternoon and didn't regret it; the artwork was filled with emotion and loveliness.
