The Hive

THE HIVE GALLERY 729 S. Spring St. LA, CA 90014
www.thehivegallery.com
We have 5 featured artists a month, 1 installation artist, up to 100 artists in a group show, a "$50 and under" artist-made item store, and 12 working artist studios in the space. We specialize in lowbrow, highly techical, and pop-surrealist works (and any other work that we feel is pushing the envelope). Our openings are run in a festival style- generally the first Saturday of every month, with up to 10 performances, live painting, video projection, and more. We also are a premiere gallery on the downtown, Art Walk (www.downtownartwalk.com with up to 25 participating galleries and museums such as The MOCA and Museum of Neon Art).
The Hive is at the forefront of the growing lowbrow scene on the west coast. We have been the first to show artists such as Audrey Kawasaki, Jophen Stein, Josh Clay, Chet Zar and many, many more. Gallery owners, collectors, and press (such as LA Weekly, Juxtapoz magazine) from around the world frequent our space personally and online to find the hottest new talent.
What makes The Hive so special? While most galleries ask 50% commission, The Hive only takes 30%, so when you sell artwork you make more money. We are pushing smaller artwork (generally looking for work under 14" wide to start from out of state artists, featured artists present all sizes large and small)
THe Hive openings are the first Saturday of every month with up to 60 artists involved, 12 performances, live painting, food and more! It's an art opening to be experienced.
The Hive is currently looking for artists in the Los Angeles area...as well as non-local artists
