Chelsea’s annual International Photography Competition this year features the works of artists who capture the world’s current social strife and their own surreal expressions in the form of strikingly composed, contrasting images. Bold colors, playful lines, and stark subjects combine to create an arresting balance for viewers to optically peruse.

Lyrical Narratives and Abstraction features twelve artists whose diverse experiences in the arts have formed a cohesive narrative which visually encapsulates viewers to tell the artists’ personal stories. The layered styles of the exhibited works chronicles the collective narrative of some of Agora’s most talented artists.

Engaging the Full Spectrum is a group exhibition of thirteen artists, who each present alternative modes of seeing and experiencing everyday life. The artwork of the photographers, painters, and sculptors blend familiar and recognizable imagery with the abstract and supernatural.

Unbound Perspectives is a group show celebrating the countless ways a single subject can be interpreted and appreciated. Nine international artists explore scale, viewpoint, and nature through their photography, painting, and digital illustrations.
