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. In 2021 The Pit opened a secondary gallery location in Palm Springs, 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 Miller and Oder in collaboration with J&K. Co., 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, Gallery Platfrom.LA 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.

HOURS: TUES-SAT, 11AM-5PM
