Speaker Series | “An Evening with Britain’s Royal Artist in Residence” with Jeremy Houghton

  • The BEAR | BCAA 2833 Main Street Hot Springs, VA, 24445 United States (map)

Step inside the world of one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary painters. Jeremy Houghton has been entrusted to capture moments and places few ever witness—from Windsor Castle during the reign of HM Queen Elizabeth II to the Wimbledon championships, America’s Cup, and the athletes of the 2012 London Olympic Games.

🎟 Tickets: $10 per person (includes light refreshments) | Seating limited to 50 | Preregistration required


Over the past two decades, his residencies have taken him behind closed doors of royal, military, and sporting communities, revealing untold stories through a distinctive, tonal style. Houghton’s works are both intimate and expansive, evoking movement, nostalgia, and the essence of fleeting moments.

Beyond these iconic settings, Houghton’s lifelong study of flamingos—begun on the private Oppenheimer game reserve in South Africa—reflects his deep commitment to the natural world. His more recent Kalahari-inspired collection, enriched with gold leaf, highlights the rarity and fragility of these endangered birds.

Join us for an evening of conversation and visual storytelling as Jeremy Houghton shares insights from his remarkable career, exploring how art can illuminate perception, memory, and reality.
