About us

The Velvet Easel is a contemporary art gallery in Portobello, Edinburgh, which exhibits a wide range of modern art predominantly by Scottish artists.

Established in November 2013, The Velvet Easel Gallery presents a programme of group exhibitions throughout the year, including work by emerging as well as established artists from all artistic backgrounds. A broad range of mediums are represented including painting, sculpture, pottery, ceramics, glass and jewellery. We also stock a wide range of high quality limited edition prints, greetings cards and gifts.

Visiting the Gallery

The Velvet Easel Gallery is located in Portobello, a seaside resort which lies three miles east of Edinburgh city centre and stretches along the coast of the Firth of Forth, Scotland. It has a long promenade fronting onto a wide sandy beach, perfect for a walk after your gallery visit !
