THE HIVE GALLERY
was founded in Spring of 2005, and it is the longest standing gallery on the Downtown Art Walk
Fundamental to The Hive Gallery’s vision of creating a thriving community of artists, is its opening monthly art show. “ We seek to break down the quiet, traditional, art-on-white-walls, viewing experience and create a gallery atmosphere that is as equally alive as it’s artwork.” Openings usually include 5 featured artists, up to 100 group show artist, live painting, and more.
The art featured in the gallery leans toward neo-pop illustration in nearly all mediums that are highly crafted and affordable. Artists that show at The Hive have proven their dedication to the community by consistently producing high quality work on a month to month basis. Frequent monthly shows encourage the participating artists to fine tune their craft, develop new communication forms, and experiment with particular styles, imagery, and techniques.
Operating on a low commission basis, The Hive studios allow buyers to build close relationships with artists who work out of their spaces. This allows resident artists to sell, exhibit, and network from their studios with a no-commission, artist to buyer policy.
The Hive Gallery is located at 726 S. Spring Street.
