Emerging
Art & Soul is thrilled to announce Emerging, the debut solo exhibition of our Artist-in-Residence, Bella DiBernardo. A rising artist whose creative voice has been closely intertwined with the gallery since its earliest days, this exhibition offers an intimate look at Bella’s personal narrative, explored through bold, intuitive expression and a deeply reflective collection of work. As both curator and creator, Bella presents a meaningful milestone in her artistic journey, inviting visitors to experience the vision and spirit that have helped shape Art & Soul from the beginning.
Emerging marks Bella’s first exhibition - a powerful reflection of her growth not only as an artist, but as a young woman navigating the world through creativity. This collection represents a beginning: an honest, evolving dialogue between artist and canvas.
Bella DiBernardo is a self-taught artist whose creative journey began in early childhood. Bella co-founded Art & Soul here in Santa Barbara and has been instrumental in helping run and grow the gallery over the past years. Her daily immersion in the artistic process and exposure to local and national artists has deeply influenced her development, allowing her to learn through mentorship, observation, and an unrelenting commitment to her craft.
Bella’s paintings explore personal narratives through a bold and intuitive lens, and her deep emotional sensitivity has allowed her to develop a unique voice grounded in mood, memory, and contrast. Working primarily with acrylics, she explores the tension between softness and strength, solitude and connection, stillness and transformation.
The Atelier Collective
Art & Soul is pleased to present five unique and inspiring creative spaces, telling the stories of individual artists within the collective spirit of the gallery. From familiar names to emerging talents, these intimate galleries deliver art with commanding presence. Come experience these galleries within the gallery—curated for closer connection to the art.
Art With Heart -November
Storyteller
Art has the power to inspire, connect, and give back. Each month at Art & Soul, we donate a portion of our proceeds to a charitable organization that reflects our current exhibition or the passions of the featured artist. It's our way of honoring the deeper connections between creativity, community, and compassion.
By supporting Art & Soul, you’re not only investing in meaningful art—you’re also helping to make a positive impact, one exhibition at a time.
This month, we are pleased to support Storyteller. Believing that every child deserves a happy beginning, Storyteller's learning centers are havens where young minds and their families are empowered to rewrite their stories, breaking the cycle of poverty and paving the way for brighter futures.
Wines with Soul — November
Margerum Wine Company
At Art & Soul, we believe that great art deserves a perfect pairing. Each month, we feature a local wine that complements the spirit and style of our current exhibition.
Margerum Wines has been a loyal supporter of ours from the Funk Zone to State Street.
Committed to creating handcrafted wines using only the highest-quality grapes, they strive to make wines naturally, with individual characteristics and personality. The scale of production is kept at a level where they can touch and know the wine as it is raised to the bottle—the antithesis of mass production—old-world techniques in the new world.
RITUAL
Art & Soul is proud to feature a curated selection of Ritual Jewelry, a line of beautifully handcrafted sterling silver, copper and brass jewelry. Each piece is designed in Santa Barbara CA by Christina Kerndal and handmade in India. Ritual is committed to keeping traditional handcrafted silversmith methods alive and works exclusively with artisan silversmiths in long-lasting, caring relationships.
“All our materials are reused, recycled and reclaimed whenever possible and we always encourage environmentally sustainable practices throughout the entire production chain.”
Experience Ritual at Art & Soul, where every design carries the spirit of tradition and the beauty of intention.
Perlina Designs
There’s more than one way to bring the beauty of Santa Barbara into your life. Art & Soul is thrilled to present a limited selection of jewelry by Perlina Designs—elegant, locally crafted pieces by designer Jeanna Delgado. Each piece is meticulously crafted, offering lasting beauty and heirloom quality designed to endure for generations.
Embrace the glow and adorn yourself with local artistry you’ll cherish for years to come.
