Katie Bellomo

Katie Bellomo

Gallery Director

Katie began her design career working for menswear designers Perry Ellis and Joseph Abboud. Although her career ultimately led her to Public Relations and Advertising Sales for menswear, lifestyle and fashion publications Talk and Esquire, her true passion always remained in textiles and design.
She has been an active member of the community, responsible for planning, coordinating and hosting countless fundraisers and events for her three children’s schools and many sports teams.

I love that The Art Guild is located in one of the oldest structures on Long Island where the brand successfully preserves its history while creating new art history by supporting artists through our exhibits.”

Katie resides in Port Washington with her husband and three children.
