Benacquista Launches New Artist Discovery Campaign

SAN DIEGO, February 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Benacquista Galleries, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BAQG - News) announced today it has launched a New Artist Discovery Campaign.

"As a service to the new and un-published artists of the World, Benacquista Galleries has launched a campaign to assist artists in showcasing their works of art and launching their careers. If an artist is selected for the New Artist campaign, Benacquista will provide a personal web site to display their work and will assist each artist with a comprehensive marketing and promotional campaign," stated Benacquista President, Jim Price.

�Each new artist will undergo an initial screening process by the Benacquista Art Review Board. If accepted, Benacquista Galleries will require a $500 set up fee and a monthly fee of $29.95 for representation and promotion. The Gallery's commission on artwork sold will be 25% of the retail prices. It is almost impossible for new artists to become discovered, let alone to have a Gallery pick them up and promote their work. We feel this program will build our inventory of artists and artwork very quickly, which will lead to much greater revenues and earnings for the company, concluded Price�.

Benacquista Galleries, Inc. Seeks acquisitions and invests in early stage companies with a focus in the Art, Education and Publishing Industries. Benacquista was founded in 2002 and went public in 2005.
