The Velvet Easel Gallery in Portobello, near Edinburgh, is mounting its 2025 Spring Exhibition – a mixed exhibition featuring the work of over 40 contemporary artists, including new works by gallery regulars such as Garry Harper, Sophie McKay Knight, Ian Neill, Lindsey Lavender, Michelle Campbell, Catriona Millar and Stephen Mangan, and a number of artists exhibiting with the Gallery for the first time. In addition to the paintings, the Exhibition will feature new ceramics, sculpture, glass and jewellery, providing a welcome burst of colour to counter winter’s greyness.

The Gallery’s new website showcases work by its front-page featured artists such as Christine Clark, Glosters Ceramics, Jackie Henderson, Louise Marks, Amanda Phillips and Alan Richmond.
