Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Results


Agora Gallery is delighted to announce the Chelsea International Fine Art Competition results. The competition is well-known for involving prominent art experts and curators from world-renowned museums in the jurying process. As such, it represents an excellent way for artists to keep their work in the minds of important figures in the art world. "Entering competitions takes energy, courage and strong belief in oneself and anyone who simply enters competitions is a winner,” says Agora Gallery Director Angela Di Bello, who has vast experience of the art circuit. The competition was juried by Mr. Anthony Haden-Guest, a British writer, reporter, cartoonist, art critic and occasional performer, who lives in New York and London.
