Bella Unica Art Gallery and Events is an online art gallery, specializing in showcasing and promoting local and international
artists in the Tampa Bay area. The gallery constantly collaborates with respectful venues like The Vinoy Hotel, St. Pete
First Art Collective at Gilbert Chapel Gallery, The Carrollwood Cultural Center, Kozuba Distillery, Paper Crane and others
to give represented artists more exposure.
This year we hosted 44 pop-up weekly art shows at the historic Vinoy Hotel, we were invited to run the art portion of
the annual Global Day of Discovery at Renaissance, The Vinoy Hotel this year, numerous solo shows across Tampa Bay and
Art Against Abuse installation in Carrollwood Cultural Center. Because of the gallery’s efforts, artists were able to get extra
exposure in the local media such as St. Pete Life Magazine, Channel 10’s Great Day Live and now the respectful Florida
Women’s Magazine. Not mentioning art sold.
The Gallery is famous for making a positive impact in the local community by hosting annual events like Art, Fashion
and Spirits (where local businesses and the community come together in support of good causes https://artfashionandspirits.
com/), Creative Farm Art Market Event (showcasing young, emerging artists) and upcoming Unicorns are Art (art
event for kids). Pictured: Bella Unica owner Natalie Velez and Gina White, who runs St. Pete Art Collective in front of work
