Velveteria: The Museum of Velvet Art was a museum dedicated to paintings on velvet, established in 2005 in Portland Oregon and relocated in 2013 to Los Angeles, California. In Los Angeles it was formally known as Velveteria Epicenter of Art Fighting Cultural Deprivation. The establishment housed hundreds of paintings from founders Caren Anderson and Carl Baldwin's personal collection of over 2,000 pieces, and was reportedly the only one of its kind.

It was permanently closed c. 2020-2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
