Inspired by the culture, history, resilience, and identity of Boston’s 23 neighborhoods, this jersey represents the Boston that lives beyond the postcards and tourist attractions. From Dorchester and Roxbury to Mattapan, East Boston, South Boston, Jamaica Plain, Charlestown, and beyond, every neighborhood carries its own stories, traditions, struggles, and pride.

Not every artwork is meant to give you the answer. Some are meant to make you think.

Conceptual & Symbolist art is one of the many genres represented in the 40th Chelsea International Fine Art Competition Exhibition. Through symbolism, metaphor, and personal narratives, these works invite viewers to look beyond what is immediately visible.

Featuring works by Alpha Fofanah, Jon Wollenhaupt, Karyn Mannix, Kyoung Lee, Lauryn Dove, Matthew Boyle, Neal Spector, Paula Calarame, Sage Reynolds, and Susan Rostan, this genre highlights the many ways artists use ideas to spark curiosity and conversation.

Join us at Agora Gallery in Chelsea, New York, from August 1–29, 2026, and discover these works in person.

✨ NUDES VOL. II — Opening Reception ✨
🗓 January 9, 2026
⏰ 8–11PM | 🔞 21+
📍 Black Walls Gallery
New Dia, Boston

NUDES VOL. II
Because the human body is still controversial for some reason.

A group exhibition of figurative nude artwork by artists who believe bodies are complicated, political, intimate, awkward, powerful — and occasionally hot. Skin, shadow, desire, vulnerability, confidence, insecurity… all of it on the wall.

You’ll probably like some of it.
You might be confused by some of it.
You may even have opinions.

That’s kind of the point.

Come see it in person and decide for yourself.
