    Jason and Moira - Book Release

    "I recently held a book signing event at Marcolina’s Fine Arts Gallery and had a fantastic experience.  Marcolina was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for attendees. The gallery space itself was stunning, with beautiful artwork on display that added to the overall ambiance of the event.

    The book signing itself went smoothly, with plenty of space for guests to mingle and interact with the author. It was clear that the Marcolina had put a lot of effort into organizing the event, and it truly showed in the seamless execution.

    Overall, I highly recommend this gallery for anyone looking to host or attend a book signing event. The combination of an elegant space, friendly staff, and beautiful artwork make it the perfect venue for any special occasion."

    Kristine C. - Birthday Party (50 People)

    “I hosted a Birthday party at Marcolina's Art Gallery last month and it was one of the coolest venues I could have picked. The owners, Marcolina and Guillermo were kind and accommodating. It was awesome getting to talk to both of them since Guillo has a lot of amazing art that is his own work inside the gallery. During the private party, they gave us our space to enjoy our time there and constantly checked in on us to make sure we were doing okay and having a good time. I’d highly recommend Marcolina’s for anyone whether it’s for a private event or one of their events that they have open to the public such as their Monday Art Classes. They are a small local business right in the middle of downtown Ybor and I’m happy I was able to support them!”
