Eclectic gallery. Interesting artists. Nice way to spend an hour or so. Its bigger than it first looks.
This store was neat. They had new and old themed toys (The Simpsons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and other characters Im not familiar with but were cool.) Its a very limited selection, and the prices were pretty reasonable.
My favorite LA gallery! Nathan King Bee has done an amazing job keeping this place going in its very unique spirit for so long. There is always something interesting and new moving through this place, and Ive been turned on to some of my now-favorite artists because of shows there. Eclectic and accessible.
Ive been to Corporation Food Hall but never knew the existence of The Hive Gallery until I saw an Instagram posting of Happening in Dtla regarding the ongoing exhibit so I went one weekday to check it out.When I found the place, it was kind of dim and quiet. I had to double check the hours posted by the door. I peeked through the glass door and saw someone inside so I decided to come in. That person was actually Marcel (or Mancel), one of the artists with one of the stalls in the gallery.I had the gallery all by myself on the day of my visit so I freely roamed inside. I was very much surprised of the size of the gallery and how much art pieces were in there. The gallery looks small outside because of the narrow size but it goes on and on inside. I was impressed with all the unique talents these artists have. I had to tour the place twice to capture all the artworks here.I learned that the ongoing exhibit on my visit was almost ending which explains why the place is empty. I learned that exhibits change every month and from what I learned from other reviewers, this place gets really packed during opening days to meet the artists in person. I highly recommend this place you are into museums and galleries. Entrance is free.
This is a great little shop! There is kidrobot stuff and exclusives made by Frank Kozik. Frank Koziks studio is in the back of the shop.
Great selection of pop, low brow, illustration, and street art
Funky, eclectic, edgy artwork! Lots to see!
The exhibits are always changing, but each of them ( and I visit there frequently) are excellent. If you are interested in photography it is a Must!
This is the most unique gallery I have ever been to or shown art at and it has nothing but purely great vibes. There’s so much variety and many great people. ️
Nice place to look at art. Love the colors and design of the artworks displayed.
This is definitely a spot to visit if ever in LA. Its a great art gallery where local artist are able to show off their skills in the heart of downtown. The gallery itself will surprise you based on its size. It has three sections (Featured Artist, Group Artwork, and Resident Artist) which allows them to display a impressive amount of work. With there shows changing fairly frequently, its a gallery youll wanna visit and keep on visiting. (And the fact that theres a ramen spot across the street is definitely a plus lol)
Fun, cool and uninhibited art. Awesome vibe and friendly people. Eclectic art pieces and got to meet almost all the artists there. This place must be visited soon. Cover charge to get in but well worth the money.
If you cant find anything interesting with 3,000 square feet of wall to wall artwork then you need to reevaluate your life. There is a new theme show every single month for the past 13 years. That sounds like a lot of dedication and hard work.Pros: Restrooms, friendly staff, cheap and affordable artwork for gift giving, and high end art for collecting.Cons: Some artist spaces havent been updated for years.
This is a beautiful and intriguing space. I enjoyed my visit, and definitely enjoyed the amazing Annie Leibovitz exhibit. Will certainly come again!
Incredible gallery with a wonderful Haunted Mansion themed installation!
Im friends with the owner he is very nice and friendly and very helpful I just love this place and the other artists they are so very nice and they remember you I recommend this gallery very highly and they have very nice art
One of our favorite gallery spaces in LA! Eclectic and well curated. Adore the amazingly talented artists they have on display. #GrayOddities
Nathan and his crew have always treated me with the utmost respect. I recommend this fun and classy L.A. gallery to all my fellow artists.
If you love modern art this is the place to visit, as it uses all available spaces to show all kinds of art, best to visit during Artwalk, its like a party in there!
Love this gallery! So many amazing and talented artists all displaying a unique piece
An amazing and important piece of Los Angeles arts landscape, this small local gallery specializes in darker pop-surrealism. The community it fosters also offers local gatherings, classes, and the occasional event in this space.
Very cool art for sale..good prices.great stuff..
A mini world with mini worlds within a mini world, Hive is the best way to describe this place, Nathan the King Bee is an amazing artist himself and host of many many years of incredible exhibitions, a mandatory visit for anyone in search of cool trippy art!
Freaky art and nice people.
Definitely an art gallery that supports indie projects. They also have big following artists as well. Definitely a place to check out and feel the tendency in LA art community
Really good variety
Very awesome art work in this gallery. The featured artist did a great job connecting each of his pieces for cohesiveness.
Most interesting art gallery in LA

I love the type of art they had there
Love this place! Was at this show last Sumner and it vool wild ass art. The Hive is pretty dope.
My favorite mini art gallery down town... Very eclectic, modern & funky pieces by local artist. It gets packed during art-walk but if you can waddle your way through they have a deejay in the back!
Nice person at the door. A lot of artists showing their talents.
Cool spot for local DTLA art
If you like weird this is your spot
Nathan is an amazing person and curator. The Hive gallery is a rare bird in Los Angeles
Very eclectic gallery downtown with a half dozen artists on display at a time. You can get an idea of what the art world of Los Angeles is into here.
Everything about the hive is amazing and Nathan the owner is a very talented artist to boot !
Possibly the best Gallery in LA; With a featured show in front, a group show further in, as well as a labyrinth of exhibits of exciting resident artists. Perhaps I am biased because I gave a space there, I dunno.
Awesome gallery of odds and ends. A variety of art from modern to classical.
Densely packed with awesome local area rotates regularly.
Amazing experience
My wife ordered a print from an artist here. Clean studio and gallery, beautiful art
My favorite Art Space in Los Angeles by far!
Great galler filled with awesome artists.
Small but cool place for art lovers.
