It is open in the park’s basketball court from 11am to 5pm and will showcase a wide range of work by 20 different artists.
The event will give art lovers, buyers and collectors the opportunity to view and purchase work and the artists will be on hand to answer any questions.
Councillor Jan Fuller, portfolio holder for leisure and culture, said: “The sports day is an excellent opportunity for Elmbridge residents to get involved in sports activities, build up enthusiasm and spread the inspiration behind London 2012.
