Mark Owen who created the painting of The Beach recently will also be at the event and will be painting another 'beach vista' on the day.

The current group show has a wide range of affordable fine art paintings, ceramic works, and abstract sculptures by established artists who exhibited at The Beach in 2024.

The Beach opened in November last year and is owned by Teddington-born Mark Vellacott, who attended Teddington School and has up until recently resided all over Australia.
