 **CERTIFICATIONS**
 
 I,
        James
        Price, certify, that:
 
 1.
        I have
        reviewed this annual report on Form 10-KSB of Benacquista Galleries, Inc.;
 2.
        Based
        on my knowledge, the annual report does not contain any untrue statement
        of a
        material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
        made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made,
        not
        misleading with respect to the period covered by this annual report;
 3.
        Based
        on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information
        included in this annual report, fairly present in all material respects the
        financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the small business
        issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;
 4.
        The
        small business issuer's other certifying officers, if any, and I are responsible
        for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
        in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the small business issuer
        and
        we have:
 a.
        Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure
        controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that
        material information relating to the small business issuer, including our
        consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,
        particularly during the period in which this annual report is being prepared;
 b.
        Evaluated the effectiveness of the small business issuer’s disclosure controls
        and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
        effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of
        the
        period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
 c.
        Disclosed in this report any change in the small business issuer’s internal
        control over financial reporting that occurred during the small business
        issuer's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
        reasonably likely to materially affect, the small business issuer’s internal
        control over financial reporting.
 5.
        The
        small business issuer's other certifying officers, if any, and I have disclosed,
        based on our most recent evaluation, to the small business issuer's auditors
        and
        the audit committee or small business issuer’s board of directors (or persons
        performing the equivalent function):
 a.
        All
        significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal controls
        over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect
        the
        small business issuer's ability to record, process, summarize and report
        financial information; and
 b.
        Any
        fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
        who
        have a significant role in the small business issuer's internal controls.
