九0年代，創辦人張金星當選了台灣第一屆畫廊協會理事長，更熱心結合畫廊業界創辦了台灣首次的畫廊博覽會(ART TAIPEI)。

2000年起阿波羅畫廊開始舉辦藝術史、藝術欣賞課程及策劃歐洲藝術之旅，將藝術教育延伸至藏家的培養及服務。2012年起由張先生之女張凱廸擔任負責人，張小姐擁有維也納應用美術大學博士學位，在國立台灣藝術大學擔任兼任助理教授。她大力推動藝術產業與學術之結合，除了將優質的藝術作品帶進大專院校之藝術空間(淡江大學&台北大學)，提升美術鑑賞眼光外，更每年提供台北大學學生畫廊策展及佈展的實習機會，讓大學生在校就能體驗職場的生態及累積工作資歷。畢業後馬上就能進入職場。

這幾年來阿波羅畫廊非常積極參與國內外之國際藝術博覽會，其中包括台北、台中、台南、高雄、柯隆、柏林、布拉格、上海、成都、南京、光州、濟州等讓更多台灣優秀的藝術家在國際舞台上被看見。同時也舉辦「楊桃派 Young & Top -阿波羅畫廊新銳藝術家助長計畫」&「構圖台灣-視覺藝術徵選活動」扶植35歲以下之台灣年輕藝術創作者順利步入正軌的藝術市場。
