The Velvet Velvet is a free private gallery that features works that appeal to those with an appreciation for visual arts and design. The mission of The Velvet Velvet is to encourage the appreciation and understanding of art and design and its role in society. We feature three to four shows about graphic design and architecture yearly along with smaller monthly exhibits featuring works from local designers and emerging artists.

The Velvet Velvet was founded in 2005 by Amy Edwards in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Since then, the gallery has been one of the highlights of Virginia beach and is a popular tourist attraction.
