The organisers of Swindon Paint Fest, said:
“We are so excited to once again have the opportunity to bring people together and spark creativity within our town. We can’t thank the Arts Council and our sponsors enough for making this happen.
“Last year, we had so much positive feedback from visiting artists on how welcome they were made to feel in Swindon, which was incredible. The murals around town have brought so much joy and positivity to our lives. So we can’t wait to add to this and see what our chosen artists are going to create for us!”
