Reviews:
There is some discussion among artists online as to the validity of Agora Gallery. Given the high costs associated with exhibiting at the gallery, some artists question its legitimacy. It is worth noting that the gallery is transparent and forthright about their fees, as they are all clearly outlined on the gallery's website. Thus, there is no pretense there. It is up to you, as an artist, to research and determine if exhibiting at the gallery taking into consideration the costs involved would be beneficial to you.
