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 JK & Co in collaboration with Miller and Oder, the Atwater Village complex is 13,000 square feet allowing for a more expansive vision of what a gallery can provide for an artist and a viewer. 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 gallery participates in national and international art fairs such as Art Basel Miami Beach, The Armory Show, EXPO Chicago, Frieze Los Angeles, Frieze London, ZonaMaco Mexico City, and more.
The Pit is a member of The Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA), New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA), and Gallery Association Los Angeles (GALA).
