From the festive team at The Red Door, we would like to say a huge thank you for all the support we have had over the last year. We are very lucky to be able to deal with some amazing artists and fantastic customers which make The Red Door exactly what it is. A very Merry Christmas to you all!

A worthy (and tiny ) Christmas protest - from onepointoh

We hope you are all as excited about Christmas as this DJ is about what he's playing! Hopefully this will put a smile on your faces for the day.

'Bright' sunlight on closed lids

'Bright' is The Red Door Gallery's winter exhibition showcasing new work from Kate Holliday of sunlight on closed lids.

Bright is a presentation of wall based works expanding on the much-loved sunlight on closed lids greetings card range. Inspired by folk saying that they love the greeting cards so much that they keep them for themselves, it is timely that these characters, patterns and simple sentiments skip off the ephemeral card and find themselves a new home nestled in a wooden frame to be enjoyed season to season, day to day, tick to tock.

These limited edition digital prints are characteristic of sunlight on closed lids illustrative style, blending bold hand-drawn illustration with colourful vintage patterns. A limited edition poster is also on sale alongside greeting cards and stationary. Combining playfulness, primary colours and heartfelt sentiments,          

'Bright' is guaranteed to bring a smile to faces young and old.

Despite a slight delay due to weather, 'Bright' is now on show at The Red Door until 31st January. Come and check it out! 

Some lovely new prints in from Chase + Wonder. A steal at £60 each! Come and check them out.

Gift guides for those ever important Christmas presents. Stocking fillers, partners, guys, girls, kids - we have presents covered!

 Well, we have just had one of those weeks at The Red Door. Edinburgh is covered in that white stuff called snow, which we have come to love and loathe at this time of year. As usual, no one was prepared, so whilst our city, and most of the country slowed to a sliding halt, we remained and still remain firmly open for business! Our only sad point is that our sunlightonclosedlids show 'Bright' has been postponed to open later this week. Miss Sunlight herself was stuck in snow, so we figured it was best for everyone to reschedule. We hope to be hanging this at the end of this week, so watch out for more info!

In the mean time, whilst the snow continues to fall, you can either brave the conditions and come along for a Monday chat with The Red Door team, or stay warm inside and shop with us online!
