About Us

The Gite Gallery features beautiful, original art from Africa.

Loved by seasoned art collectors and novices alike, The Gite Gallery will take you on an amazing African journey with its colorful and bold art. 

Housing one of the most comprehensive and beautiful African art collections in the country, The Gite Gallery offers a spectacular array of art that will enliven any space.

Located in a charming two-story brick house, built in 1943, The Gite Gallery has been described as one of the most elegant galleries in the United States.

Owner and curator, Lloyd Gite, takes great pride in the fact that the gallery is decorated to look more like a home than a typical “white walled” gallery.

"A few pieces of African art in your home or office can really change the energy of a room," says Gite. "African art really makes a bold statement.” 

Gite’s love of African art can be traced back to his childhood, where he always had an intuitive fascination with the continent.

“I made my first trip in 1976 and immediately fell in love with Africa and was particularly fond of its art. Later, while working as a TV reporter, I began to make regular trips and soon began collecting and selling art out of my home. This passion for African art eventually evolved into The Gite Gallery,” he says.
