Each artwork is framed in original beach hut wood, adding an authentic touch to these iconic pieces. Beach Hut Studios has played a key role in crafting these unique frames, ensuring that when you acquire a framed artwork, you are taking home not only a stunning piece of art but also a tangible piece of history.

These artworks will be exhibited at the Beach Hut 2025 Art Show and auctioned off to art enthusiasts. A portion of the proceeds will be shared with the participating artists, while the remaining funds will be donated to the Beach Hut Trust, ensuring the long-term sustainability of these cherished structures.
