• TAMPA, FL—Spain Restaurant & Toma Bar will transform into a vibrant celebration of art, music, and culture for “Art Feast at Spain Restaurant: Featuring Namaya & Ricky Singh.” This one-night-only event invites the Tampa Bay community to experience bold, playful, political, and profoundly moving art alongside live flamenco guitar and poetry performances. We are very pleased that Spain Restaurant and the Castro family are hosting this art event; they have always supported music and art.

The event showcases two extraordinary artists:

• Namaya, a performance poet and artist, is internationally recognized for his works of peace and social justice arts projects. His Fauvist-inspired portraits and political art will have their first Tampa art show. (Namaya’s art has been exhibited worldwide—from San Miguel de Allende to Villa Grimaldi in Santiago, Chile—earning awards for peace art and residencies exploring human rights through art, dance, and theater.
• Ricky Singh – a St. Petersburg-based artist celebrated for his evocative resin and acrylic art, blending vibrant color, innovative techniques, and cultural symbolism. Singh’s work draws inspiration from his Sikh heritage and contemporary art movements, earning praise across Florida’s arts community.

Warehouse Arts District, “Ricky has been an invaluable art guild member with his marvelous creations. He has presented workshops to the community on his art and has inspired many youngsters with this work.”

Guests will enjoy:
✅ Delicious Happy Hour Spanish tapas & drinks available from Spain Restaurant

“This event is not just an art show—it’s a cultural immersion,” says Namaya. “It’s art from India from Ricky Singh, and art and performance from Namaya.”

🖼️ Review of Namaya’s Art

“Namaya’s art goes straight to the danger zone—and it’s exactly what’s needed in our moment… His direct imagery and willingness to dialogue about war and peace create a safe place to bring matters out from the darkness. It’s exciting and refreshing.”
— Alison Beth Levy, Independent Art Curator

Admission is free and happy hour drinks and tapas can be purchased. Art collectors, cultural leaders, and community members are invited to meet the artists and experience this unforgettable evening.
