Agora Gallery is proud to represent talented artists from all over the world, many of whom are inspired by their surroundings. Each location is different and possesses a unique atmosphere. Naturally, the art in each place also varies, imparting a particular feeling to the art scene and influencing artists in certain ways. In ARTbeat, some of our artists explain what they think is most characteristic and special about the art scene in the city where they live.
