On the Edge Gallery's Fabulous Collection & Approachable Art
Is your space quietly begging for something real? On the Edge Gallery brings approachable, original art in Scottsdale.
The Gallery's edge: The gallery showcases more than 40 collections of local Arizona artists. Whether it's art pottery, painting, jewelry, Japanese art, or whatever medium you're into, you won't leave without finding something extraordinary. You'll catch at least two of their friendly artists in action, crafting their pieces on your visit and every Thursday Artwalk. Many original works are offered at every price point—no pressure, no pretense, just good art.
All for art: Situated in the heart of Scottsdale’s Art District, the gallery opened its doors in 2012, inspired by its debut at Scottsdale ArtWalk. Collaboratively run and staffed by member artists for their shared passion, for the community, and to keep the space alive. They also offer the Emerging Artist Program for talented individuals who are looking to showcase their artwork in a short-term exhibit. And by Fall 2026, keep an eye out for their Mini Gallery opening.
Location: On The Edge Gallery 7045 E. Main Street, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251 | Mon-Sat: 10am-5:00pm, ArtWalk Thurs until 9pm, Sun 11am-5pm
