The Hive Gallery & Studios — Attraction in Los Angeles

I've 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.

With there shows changing fairly frequently, it's a gallery you'll wanna visit and keep on visiting. (And the fact that there's a ramen spot across the street is...

I’ve been visiting the hive for the better part of a decade. There is always a wide variety of art up between monthly shows and resident artists who regularly change what they have on display.

In my humble opinion it’s among the best options in all of California for a $20 date. It’s a great first date option too because it can really help you get a feel for your guest by seeing which art they are into or repelled by.

The owner and operator comes of as a mensch with a heart of gold you just wanna sit and talk...
