Spent my 28th birthday learning how to spray paint some graffiti with these guys and absolutely loved it! Craig was great and VERY patient with us. All 12 of us had an absolute blast and got some pretty eye opening insights into street art. Would recommend to anyone wanting to do something a little different :)

Small but offering great artists from Scotland and around the world!
I quite enjoy the gallery because the present modern, colourful, "affordable" pieces that you truly could see in your home. Pieces are changing often which is a plus.
The owner is lovely and she will be able to tell you everything about her artists.
A great discovery in the Edinburgh Old Town!

Beautiful street art depicting a girl with a very interesting look in her face. Sometimes I feel like she is asking me 'what are you looking at' whilst other times I feel she is very much looking at me and really seeing my inside. Worth a visit!

I cannot sing the praises of The Red Door Gallery high enough.
Many years ago I bought an Art print from here, had a lovely time & left.
I’ve recently wanted the same print again - years later, but couldn't find it anywhere.
Kathryn the Caped Crusader came to my rescue & not only sourced the prints (I wanted x2) but gathered them to her & posted them on to me.
I’m absolutely ‘cockahoop’.
THAT my friend, is customer service.

It’s a lovely wee photo gallery in the heart of Edinburgh, in the old town. They exhibit photos and offer courses. I’ve visited several times and have had the honour of having a photo of mine exhibited digitally there. I recommend.

In summer 2019 I took a guided tour which was really informative as we had a glance of history of the building itself and as well how it became the home for Edinburgh printmakers. So many presses, lithograph stones, really enjoyable tour for someone who fancies printmaking. And there is a nice cafe in there as well -)

Attractively laid out gallery space in an old swimming pool. Worth timing your visit to also see the upper level gallery above the working tapestry studio.
