Gloria Delson Contemporary Arts
After serving as a private art dealership for more than thirty years catering to a private and corporate clientele, GDCA debuted its gallery space in 2010 and became a mainstay of the Downtown L.A. contemporary arts scene. Gloria Delson Contemporary Arts (or GDCA) is a full service gallery that offers two new exhibitions each month: a group show featuring emerging and mid-career artists, and a solo exhibition of works by an established artist.
Gloria Delson Contemporary Arts is open Tuesday to Friday from noon to 7PM, Saturday & Sunday from noon to 5PM, and evenings and weekends by appointment.

Located next door to GDCA and known for its astounding collection of unusual, underground, and so-called lowbrow art, The Hive has always been a popular spot to discover works by local artists. With many reasonably priced offerings, The Hive is also a destination for budding collectors and popular culture fans.
Offering group exhibitions by resident artists, as well as recurring themed exhibitions, The Hive is bound to emerge stronger than ever from the events of the past year.
