UK representatives include My Dog Sighs, Jay Sharples and Dale Grimshaw, with Blackpool’s home-grown talent such as Catch 22, Lowdown, Chris Fenn and Infected by Design among those showcasing their skills on live art days.

Robin said: “From where we started, to be able to create an internationally recognised event, and to see its return after being away for a year, fills me with joy.

“The fact we’re able to attract such talented artists goes to show how much they enjoy coming to paint in Blackpool – it’s great news for the town.”
