Art Room 59

You are here: Home > About Us

Art Room 59 opened in autumn 2005 and is situated on the outskirts of Dunfermline town centre. It provides a showcase for a variety of Scottish artists, craftspeople and designers, many of whom are local to Dunfermline and Fife.

Owned by Ruth Walls, a design graduate from Edinburgh College of Art, the gallery offers a wide range of drawings, paintings, screen prints, sculpture, ceramics, metalwork and jewellery. Along side, sits interior art and accessories, mirrors, lamps, stained glass and an imaginative array of gift ideas and hand crafted cards. This eclectic combination reflects Ruth's design background, giving Art Room 59 its unique style and identity.

Ruth is passionate about promoting good quality, original, arts and crafts, and is always delighted to answer any questions about a particular artist's work, or maker's technique; "finding out more about the artist and their work, what inspires them, the methods they use, their background and experience, adds to the pleasure of owning their work and if buying as a present, the recipient will know that their gift is unique."

Together with our regular, featured artists, we change our hanging work on a regular basis, and have a year long program of dedicated exhibitions so there is always something new to discover in the gallery, whether you are a collector or looking for a unique and original gift.
