AGI Fine Art was established by Agora Gallery in New York to extend over four decades of experience in artist representation into a broader, international framework. Built upon the foundation of the gallery, AGI operates as a dedicated art agency focused on career development, curated exhibitions, and international art fair participation.
Located in the heart of Chelsea, Agora Gallery serves as the primary New York exhibition space for AGI-curated shows. Through professional exhibitions, artists are positioned within a context that emphasizes narrative clarity, audience alignment, and market awareness.
Beyond gallery exhibitions, AGI Fine Art actively participates in established international art fairs, including Artexpo New York and Red Dot Miami. Rather than focusing solely on exposure, AGI emphasizes strategic positioning — helping artists build visibility within a coordinated ecosystem that extends across exhibitions, art fairs, digital platforms, and collector networks.
An experienced team of curators, art professionals, and marketing specialists working within the broader Agora Group structure.
Agora Gallery was first founded in 1984, on Greene Street in Soho, by Miki Stiles, an artist who sought to create a hub for emerging artists working in similar mediums and methodologies to come together to present their work. Alongside the gallery space, a host of services were offered to the artists — promotional efforts, career development, advice from a variety of professionals in the arts, and the opportunity to connect with other artists also exhibiting in New York City.
Following Stiles' untimely passing in 2001, Agora Gallery moved to its current home in Chelsea on West 25th Street. Though over time the gallery's focus has evolved to curating group exhibitions of established contemporary artists, Miki Stiles' vision lives on through Agora's supportive community for artists, encouraging creative and professional advancement, while connecting collectors to a compelling range of artwork, projects and special exhibitions.
Agora Gallery's name comes from the Greek word “ἀγορά,” meaning “open marketplace” — a place where people gather not only to buy and sell goods, but also to meet like-minded individuals and exchange news and ideas, a place where everyone is welcome.
Together, Agora Gallery and AGI Fine Art form an integrated network. Agora Gallery offers a selective commercial program focused on established artists and curated special projects, while AGI Fine Art provides strategic, dedicated career-building services designed to help artists strengthen their positioning, expand their opportunities, and develop their careers.
