Founded by artists Adam D. Miller and Devon Oder in 2014, The Pit is a contemporary art gallery representing and exhibiting emerging, mid-career and established artists spanning generations. The gallery began as an artist-run, artist curated project space operating out of a studio warehouse which was formerly a mechanics garage in Glendale, CA.
After ten years operating in the original space, The Pit moved to its current location in the Atwater Village neighborhood of Los Angeles. Designed by J&K. Co in collaboration with Miller and Oder, the Atwater Village complex is 13,000 square feet including three exhibition spaces and a shop. The larger footprint of the building over the three galleries allows for a more expansive vision of what a gallery can provide for an artist and a viewer, along with varying programming opportunities. The gallery’s program creates historical conversations and connections between emerging, mid career and established artists with canonized alternative art histories such as self-taught artists, psychedelia, the graphic arts, underground comics, and the intersections of craft and fine art.
The Pit is a gallery member of New Art Dealers Alliance and represents twenty-six contemporary artists, while participating in international art fairs. All of our galleries are accessible by wheelchair. There is a free parking lot adjacent to the building.
The Pit does not accept unsolicited submissions. Any materials sent in will not be returned.
