Call to Artists
We are inviting all emerging artists to show their art and celebrate Mexican culture during our Creative Farm Art Market on November 2nd.
Día de los Muertos is a Mexican tradition of honoring the dead, rooted in Aztec rituals surrounding the day when the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead is believed to be thinnest. We’ll be celebrating November 2nd, known as All Souls Day. You are encouraged to dedicate some of your work to this tradition.
Submit your Día de los Muertos artwork by October 10th to get a chance to be featured in our online poster and win a $100 prize! Email your image to na*****@be********.com or Austen van der Bleek to av*****@gm***.com
Show us your art and stay for a party with DJ Skull! Learn more: www.openhouseconspiracy.com

Creative Farm is an invent organized by Bella Unica Art Gallery. This event provided a tranquil, yet vibrant, atmosphere for young artists to mingle with fellow creatives and other members of the St. Petersburg community. They offered a diverse selection of artists from digital media, photography, drawing, and sketch-art.
Being able to interact with other young artists that are pursuing the same dream as I am in such an underrated, unsupported career field was inspiring. As an artist, you often face backlash by pursuing a vision that is out of the ordinary. However, Bella Unica understands that this world is founded off of artists and visionaries. Receiving that form of support from your community and witnessing that representation as an aspiring artist was a positively overwhelming experience. It showed me that my aspirations are not limited, that others believe in creativity, imagination, risk-taking, the potential of the younger generation, and the ability of the community to unite all of their strength to uplift others. That is the vision and the long-lasting impact of Creative Farm.I am grateful for the opportunity to showcase my art and interact with the artists of the St. Petersburg community!
