Ben Maltz Gallery, Contemporary art gallery at Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles, US.
The Ben Maltz Gallery was an art exhibition space at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles that displayed rotating works. Paintings, sculptures, photographs, and video installations were presented in a ground-floor space within the Bronya and Andy Galef Center for Fine Arts.
The venue started in 1957 as Otis Gallery in a different part of the city and moved to the Westchester campus in 1997. It operated as an exhibition space for over six decades before closing in 2020.
The space brought together artists, students, and teachers through exhibitions and public events held within its walls. Conversations and lectures here connected the working art world with the college community.
The exhibition space was located on the ground floor of an arts center on campus, making it easy for visitors to find and access. Records and archives related to past exhibitions were kept at the college library for those wanting to learn more about the venue's history.
An exhibition here won recognition from the International Critics Association in 1996 for its innovative approach to space and form. The show attracted attention from art professionals and helped raise the venue's reputation in the international art world.
