Artbeat Meets… Mark Douglass

Enjoy a Q&A with contemporary artist, Mark Douglass, who has achieved success in the areas of hospitality, fashion, retail, interior design and art.…
Mark has gone full circle in the arts: from establishing Whitehall Enterprises, an arts group collective, to being the man behind notable fashion labels and the interiors of some of Melbourne’s most well known venues (Florentino’s, Dogs Bar, The George, Candy Bar). His main focus is now creating and exhibiting works of art through the red-hot process of moulding molten glass.

Enjoy a glass of wine, mingle with your fellow Artbeat Members and meet Mark Douglass at what will be another successful Artbeat Meets... networking event.
