Really enjoyed the art in this gallery. All of it. And I'm not all that into art.
You have to come by and check out the Lego art: http://www.brickartist... -

Before May 30th, you all owe it to yourselves to get over to Agora! It's their plethora of coinciding collective exhibitions...... "Unchartered Realism," "Abstract Concepts," "Out From Down Under and Beyond (Australian and New Zealand artists)," and "Collective Exhibition." I don't even know if I blurbed that all out correctly, but case in point: lot of good fine arts in one lovely location. Great variety in within the show, so I'm confident their's something for everyone. Personally I was digging Renate B. Hofer's and Agnieszka Opala's paintings. http://www.agora-galle...

I liked the contemporary artists. I really enjoyed the artworks here along with other little galleries on the same street. There's always different exhibitions every month. I'd go back again to see new ones :) It's all very interesting.

I went to this gallery to see Aelita Andre's works because I've been following that lil' prodigy on the internet this summer and am a fan, so I wanted to see her works. It was my first time going into a gallery in NYC and it was interesting. I enjoyed the exhibit and love Aelita's paintings. But nobody working in the gallery bothered to look up from their desks and say hello to us, whats up with that? I had to stare at them for a good 30 seconds before they looked up and muttered "hi." Is that like a typical NY art gallery thing? Rude. Also, the door to the gallery that was labeled with their name was locked and it took us about 15 minutes to get in touch with someone there over the phone to be told that to enter their gallery you have to go in a sketchy unmarked door two doors down and get in an elevator. Also, there was a sign on their locked door advertising complimentary spritzers, which did not exist.

History
Established in 1984
The late Miki Stiles, MFA established Agora Gallery in 1984 to provide an opportunity to artists who are entering the New York art market. As an artist she faced many hardships while attempting to exhibit her art and wanted to help her fellow artists in their struggle.
Ms. Stiles was a visionary who founded the gallery on the principle that all artists, particularly emerging artists, are in need of enhancing their artist biographies/CV through gallery representation and exhibitions, in order to advance their artistic careers.
Today Agora Gallery is a fine art gallery located in the heart of New York City's Chelsea art galleries district, close to the Chelsea Museum of Fine Art and the DIA Center for the Arts (map and directions). The gallery is famous for showcasing a spectacular array of talented artists from around the world and around the corner, and for providing quality and original art to a discerning collector base.
