about the gallery
Brittany Davis Gallery first began as Beyond The Lines Art Show which was a pop up art show event company founded by Brittany Davis. These events hosted 100’s of artists from all over the city with live music, art installations, live painting, creative vendors, local food stands and trucks, comedy shows for a weekend of fun!
From there Brittany fell in love with curating shows and working with artists deciding to open a classic gallery at Bergamont Station in Santa Monica, CA called Beyond The Lines Gallery. At this gallery space she curated monthly themed exhibits working with a wide variety of artists. When a portion of Bergamont Station sold and forced many galleries to leave it was time to find a new location for the gallery.
Brittany then opened a gallery space close to the arts district and gallery row in Downtown Los Angeles and decided to combine her two previous businesses models into one. Creating an elegant gallery space mixed with installation experiences and weekend pop up events with music, comedy shows, vendors, food and fun to enjoy art of all kinds.
Nature and fresh air started calling Brittany’s name and some exploring happened that led her to Ojai, CA. The perfect gallery location seemed to fall into her lap and she jumped on the opportunity. Ojai is a magical little town just an hour and a half from LA filled with a wonderful art community and lots of mom and pop shops for the many that visit Ojai every year. The gallery then changed names to Brittany Davis Gallery where she represented a select group of artists in a large stunning gallery space in the middle of the town. This gallery was a modern gallery with a twist. Representing a wide variety of painters, sculptors, jewelers, ceramic, glass artists and photographers.
With times changing in the world Brittany decided to leave Ojai and come back to LA being close to family and the LA artist community she admires very much.
Brittany opened a new gallery in Los Angeles Mid-City neighborhood adding a boutique component for the gallery visitors to enjoy. This location had some building construction changes that pushed the gallery out.
But with that said Brittany will be taking some time to look for what is next for the gallery.
“Thank you for reading about my art business journey so far. I am excited to see what the future brings!”
Never stop creating and never stop dreaming big.

With times changing in the world and having most of her family in Los Angeles, CA she decided to move back to the city and opened a temporary gallery in Mid City part of Los Angeles. There she featured local artists in group shows with live music and events outside to keep everyone safe and comfortable and offering a place to still see original artwork in person.
With some exploring the country Brittany came across Nevada City California and fell in love with the fresh air, green trees all around, clear beautiful river, and artsy unique town filled with beautiful shops, boutiques and restaurants with lots of history.
We are excited to be part of the Nevada City community. Brittany Davis Gallery will have pop up exhibits in 2023 in southern California.

As her newest venture, Brittany has opened Brittany Davis Gallery in Ojai CA, which she describes as “a classical gallery with a twist.” The gallery showcases a group of artists from all over the country but mainly LA and Ojai area artists at this time, and hosts monthly rotating exhibits, installation rooms, and events. Brittany also plans to incorporate technology in the space to create a more interactive visitor experience. She wants every visitor to enjoy learning about the artwork they are looking at, the process, the inspiration and the artists story. "Art is created from the passions in the heart and mind of each individual to share." The gallery and artists will also be attending a variety of art fairs throughout the year.
