Alto Beta is an artist-run contemporary art gallery located in the beautiful foothill community of Altadena, 16 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. It began in March of 2022, with a focus on emerging and mid-career artists who have not had a solo show in Los Angeles in the previous 3-5 years. Exhibitions are held on a monthly basis, with the exception of July, August, and December when the gallery is closed.

The program strives to showcase the handmade, the ineffable, and the poetic - mostly abstract painting, sculpture, and ceramics. Artists are chosen for solo shows based on the merit and thoughtfulness of their artwork rather than their previous exhibition record or educational level or pedigree. Many of the artists shown have had their gallery debuts here, and several have been from the immediate neighborhood. Alto Beta is run by Brad Eberhard, who has lived in, or very near, the neighborhood for most of the previous 30 years.
